Answer:

Indefinite pronoun

Step-by-step explanation:

An indefinite pronoun is a word that replaces one or more nouns (a noun can be a person, animal, thing, idea, place, etc) in a general way, in other words, without being specific to what noun is referring to. Pronouns such as many, several, another, anything, any, anybody, anyone, either, neither, nobody, all, none, someone, some, each, everybody and few are all examples of indefinite pronouns.

Here are some example sentences:

Is there anyone home?

We can't leave our brother alone, someone needs to take care of him.
