Identify the kind of pronoun underlined in the sentence:
The kite that Rahul flew on Makar Sankranti got stuck on the water tank.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Relative pronoun
Here “that” joins “Rahul flew on Makar Sankranti” to “the kite”.
| Option | Form and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Demonstrative pronoun | points to a person or thing, such as this, that, these and those; here “that” does not point to anything | That is my school. |
| (2) Interrogative pronoun | asks a question, such as who, which and what; the sentence asks nothing | What did you buy at the fair? |
| (3) Personal pronoun | stands for a particular person or thing, such as I, he, she, it and they; “that” is not one of these words | It got stuck on the roof. |
| (4) Relative pronoun (answer) | joins a clause to a noun that comes before it | This is the temple which my great-grandfather built. |
