Answer:

Importance of pronoun agreeing with number & gender of its antecedent

Explanation:

Pronoun is a word used instead of subject noun, for referring to it again & again. Eg : Ram (He) , Sita (She) , Ram & Sita (They) , Pen (It), Colors (These)

As in above egs, pronouns are as per noun's gender & number.

  • Ram (Singular, Male)  - He ; Sita (Singular, Female) - She ; Ram & Shyam (Plural) - They ; Pen (Singular, Nonliving) - It) ; Colors (Plural, Non living) - These

Pronoun rules gives clarity about noun being referred again in writing. If they don't adhere to these rules, the written content would not be properly clear.

Eg : Ram was asked to bring pen. He bought it. {The pronouns rightly use clearly depict that 'He' is used for Ram, 'It' for pen}

It is called the river of destruction.(active)
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

People call it the river of destruction.

Explanation:

When the subject is the performer of the action of the verb, it is called the active voice.

When the subject receives the action of the verb, it is called passive voice.

The given sentence is a sentence in passive voice. The subject in the sentence is unknown. When it is changed to the active voice, the general subject 'people' is added to it. The 'by-phrase' is missing in the sentence written in passive voice. The subject is the receiver of the action. The action of calling is done by the people.
