Which of the following is an example of a pronoun?

  1. Dog

  2. Fast

  3. She

  4. Quickly

The correct answer is: She

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence, usually to help avoid repetition and to make sentences less cumbersome. "She" functions as a pronoun because it refers to a female person or entity, allowing for clarity and conciseness in communication. In contrast, the other options represent different parts of speech: "Dog" is a noun referring to an animal, "Fast" is an adjective describing speed, and "Quickly" is an adverb that describes the manner in which an action is performed. Recognizing that pronouns stand in for nouns is key to identifying them within sentences.
