Here's why:
* Adjectival pronouns are pronouns that function as adjectives, modifying nouns and showing possession. Examples include:
* My book
* Your car
* His hat
* Her phone
* Their house
* Its tail
Let's look at the other options:
* Antecedents: An antecedent is the noun or noun phrase that a pronoun refers to. For example, in "The dog wagged its tail," "dog" is the antecedent of the pronoun "its."
* Indefinite pronouns: Indefinite pronouns refer to nonspecific people, places, or things (e.g., someone, anything, everybody).
* Faulty references: This refers to pronoun usage where the antecedent is unclear or missing, leading to confusion in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct term for pronouns used as adjectives to show ownership is adjectival pronouns.
