Circle "she" and underline "Mary's

Step-by-step explanation:

pronouns are shorthand words to refer to someone or something (she, he, they, it, I, we, etc." so we would circle the only pronoun here, "she"

an antecedent is who/what the pronoun is describing. so we ask ourselves "who is she?"
Mary is the "she" so we should underline Mary's

Answer:

She is the pronoun, and Mary is the antecedent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pronoun "she" refers back to Mary, so Mary is the antecedent.
