Change the italicized noun to a pronoun in the following sentence:
Jane played with them.
a. She
b. We
c. It
d. Her
she
To replace the italicized noun "Jane" with a pronoun, we need to find a pronoun that refers to Jane. Let's examine the options given:
a. "She" is a singular pronoun that can refer to Jane. It is the correct replacement because it retains the same subject and gender.
b. "We" is a first-person plural pronoun, used to refer to a group of people that includes the speaker. It doesn't match the singular noun "Jane" in the sentence.
c. "It" is a singular pronoun used for objects or animals. It does not refer to a person like Jane.
d. "Her" is a singular pronoun used as the object form, not the subject form. It is grammatically incorrect to replace Jane with "her" in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option a. "She."
