A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun or to show possession.
Consider the words given in the sentence:
"Raju completed his homework."
Let us examine each option:
Option (1): Raju
"Raju" is a proper noun because it is the name of a person.
Hence, it is not the correct answer.
Option (2): Completed
"Completed" is a verb because it expresses an action.
Hence, it is not the correct answer.
Option (3): His
"His" is a possessive pronoun (or possessive determiner) because it shows ownership of the noun "homework".
Therefore, this is the correct answer.
Option (4): Homework
"Homework" is a common noun because it names a thing.
Hence, it is not the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{His}} \] Hence, the correct answer is Option (3) – His.
Choose the meaning of the underlined word.
