Give the pronoun that would replace the underlined nouns...
In the first sentence it says
Sheila's picture won first place in the art contest
And it has Sheila an picture underlined ....
And I know that Sheila would b replaced with age but what about picture?

I think this assignment wants the student to choose the right pronoun for each underlined noun.

The most common pronouns are:

I, me, we, us, my, our
you, your
he, she, it, his, her, him, they, them, their

Sheila can be replaced with the pronoun her.
Picture can be replace with the pronoun it.

So he would re-write the sentence
Her it won first place in the art show?

We can't use both pronouns in this one sentence.

Her picture won first place.

It won first place.
