You're right that the pronoun in the first sentence is "many."
The pronoun in the second sentence is "none." There is an adverb and were is a verb.
To find the pronoun in a sentence, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject of the sentence. The subject is usually the noun or pronoun that is doing the action in the sentence.
2. Look for any words or phrases that are referring to the subject or taking the place of the subject.
3. If you find a word or phrase that is replacing the subject, that is likely the pronoun.
In the first sentence, the subject is "visitors." The word "many" is replacing the subject "visitors," so it is the pronoun in this sentence.
In the second sentence, the subject is "Sam." The word "none" is referring to the subject "mice" and taking its place, so it is the pronoun in this sentence.
If you're still not sure, you can also refer to a reliable grammar resource or website that provides explanations and examples of different pronouns. The website I provided earlier (http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/pronouns1.htm) is a good resource for learning about pronouns.
