Question

she always took it upon herself to challenge anyone who disagreed with her. which word is the indefinite pronoun? a. anyone b. herself c. she d. her

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indefinite pronouns are used to refer to things or people indirectly, that means, without establishing who or what they are.

Indefinite pronouns groups are formed with quantifiers: every, some, any and no, along with a word that indicates a place, a thing or a person: one, body, where and thing.

They are used as follows:

• To refer to a person: pronouns ending in body and one. (Anybody, Anyone, Nobody, No One, etc)

• To refer to a thing: pronouns ending in thing. (Anything, Everything, etc)

• To refer to a place: pronouns ending in where. (Anywhere, everywhere, etc)

Answer 2

a. Anyone

An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun (which is a substitution for a noun or noun phrase or "antecedent") that refers to one or more objects, beings, places, ideas, etc. that are not specified. "Anyone" is this type of pronoun because it does not tell us to whom or to what it is referring exactly.

Other examples of indefinite pronouns are any, anybody, anyone, either, neither, nobody, no, someone, some, many, few, and all.
