Answer 1

Answer:The cat is hungry it needs food.​

Answer 2

'It' is the pronoun that should be used in the blank.

Explanation:

• Pronouns are words that are substituted instead of a noun (name of a person/ thing/ place). They are used to avoid the repetition of nouns.
• There are different kinds of pronouns. They are as follows:
• Possessive pronouns -They show possession. (Eg): mine, hers, his, etc.,
• Personal pronouns -They denote persons. (Eg): I, you, He, They, etc.,
• Reflexive pronouns -Here the pronouns are treated like objects (indirect object) in a sentence. (Eg): Myself, themselves, himself, etc.,
• Intensive pronouns -Here they show the intensity or importance of the person who does the action. (Eg): Myself, themselves, himself, etc.,
• Relative pronouns -They are pronouns that relate something to the rest of the sentence. (Eg): that, which, etc.,
• Indefinite pronouns -They do not specify anyone/ anything in particular. (Eg): somebody, nobody, etc.,
• Demonstrative pronouns -They demonstrate or show a noun. (Eg): this, that, these, etc.,
• Interrogative pronouns -They are pronouns that are used to ask question. (Eg): who, which, etc.,
• Reciprocal pronouns -They express relationship mutually. (Eg): each other, one another.
• The first sentence is: 'The cat is hungry.' The second sentence needs a pronoun to be filled in.
• As we are talking about the cat, we need not repeat the word 'cat' again, instead we can use the personal pronoun 'it'. 'It' is for third person, singular, inanimate objects.
• Therefore the answer is: 'The cat is hungry. It needs food.'
