Answer 1

The bolded pronoun "that" in the sentence "Ying selected the kitten that seemed the most loving" is a **relative** pronoun. Relative pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses, which provide more information about a noun mentioned in the main clause. In this case, "that" introduces the relative clause "that seemed the most loving," which describes "the kitten."
