What type of pronoun is the word none in sentence None guest had much to eat?

The word "none" in the sentence "None of the guests had much to eat" is a pronoun. More specifically, it's an indefinite pronoun because it refers to an unspecified amount or number.

Here's why:

* Pronoun: It replaces a noun (in this case, the noun phrase "guests").

* Indefinite: It doesn't specify a particular number or quantity of guests. It could be one, two, or many.
