Which word does the pronoun "it" refer to in the sentence? A kettle is a metal container used to boil water. Some kettles go on the stovetop, while some can be plugged into an electrical outlet. A kettle is filled with liquid, usually water, and placed on a heat source, so that the liquid inside of it will begin to boil. Once the water boils, steam is forced through two small holes in the spout of the kettle, causing a high-pitched whistling sound.

Explanation:

A pronoun is a word that is used to denote a noun to avoid the repetition of the noun. The noun instead of which the pronoun is used is said to be an antecedent.  

In the given excerpt, 'kettle' is the noun. In every new sentence, the noun 'kettle' has been repeated. Instead of the repetition of the noun 'kettle', the pronoun 'it' can be used. For singular noun 'kettle', the pronoun 'it' will be used and for plural noun 'kettles', the pronoun 'they' will be used.

hi there!

sorry i was debating over answering this question or not, but i do believe it is a sin to be gay. in the beginning, god created man and he created women to be a for man. there are many "political" views on this topic but i believe the bible is right. in the kjv bible, leviticus 18: 22, god talks about how it it is an abomination for women to be with women and man to be with man. god knows that everybody is a sinner, and he gives everyone a chance to repent. i'm not forcing god's word on anybody, but i do believe it is a sin. no matter the sin, as long as you repent, god is willing to forgive, you just have to accept him as your lord and savior.
