Question

Select the correct answers from the lists.(1 point)

____ is a pronoun that refers to an antecedent

what goes in the blank
.

Answer 1

is it a refferent

Answer 2

The correct answer to fill in the blank is "It."

So the complete sentence would be: "It is a pronoun that refers to an antecedent."

Answer 3

Yes, "referent" is another suitable word to fill in the blank.

So your completed sentence would read: "A referent is a pronoun that refers to an antecedent."

In this context, both "it" (as a pronoun) and "referent" (as a term regarding the noun to which the pronoun refers) can be understood correctly, but they convey different meanings. If you are specifically looking for a word that fits the function of the pronoun, "it" would be correct. If you are discussing the relationship between a pronoun and the noun it represents, "referent" is appropriate.
