Question

Determine the class of the italicized pronoun.
Marcia is the girl who lives upstairs.

Answer 1

The pronoun 'who' in the sentence is a subjective case pronoun as it acts as the subject of the relative clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence 'Marcia is the girl who lives upstairs,' the italicized pronoun 'who' is a subjective case pronoun. This is because it serves as the subject of the relative clause 'who lives upstairs.' Subjective case pronouns function as the doer of the action or as the subject in a sentence or clause. Examples of subjective case pronouns include I, we, you, he, she, it, they, and who/whoever. In contrast, objective case pronouns function as objects, which include pronouns like me, us, you, him, her, it, them, and whom/whomever. Possessive case pronouns show ownership and include forms like my/mine, our/ours, your/yours, his/her/hers, its, their/theirs, and whose.

Answer 2

In the sentence, assuming that the italicized pronoun is ‘who’ is a first person class.

A pronoun is used to substitute a noun. In order for it to substitute, it must have a clear antecedent. Personal pronouns are used to substitute nouns with ownership. There are three persons point of view.1st person is when the subject is the one who is speaking (e.g. I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours). 2nd person is when the subject is the one being spoken to (you, your, yours). 3rd person is when the subject is the one spoken about (he, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its, they, their, theirs).
