The person above is correct on Egde

Also, if you were wondering, to correct the sentence:

"The audience left its seats after curtain call."

You would replace "its" with "their" because "their" is reffering to multiple people, while "its" is reffering to possessive of an object.

Answer:

4. The audience left its seats after curtain call.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. There are a few different types of pronouns, and some pronouns belong to more than one category. She and her are known as personal pronouns. The other personal pronouns are I, me, you, he, him, it, we, us, they, and them.

Pronouns are versatile. The pronoun it can refer to just about anything: a bike, a tree, a movie, a feeling. That’s why you need an antecedent. An antecedent is a noun or noun phrase that you mention at the beginning of a sentence or story and later replace with a pronoun.

Relative pronouns make up another class of pronouns. They are used to connect relative clauses to independent clauses. Often, they introduce additional information about something mentioned in the sentence. Relative pronouns include that, what, which, who, and whom. Traditionally, who refers to people, and which and that refer to animals or things.
