Explanation:

Pronouns are those words that are used to replace the nouns in the sentence.

1. I went to the movies with Lydia and Kiomi.

The perfect pronoun for "Lydia and Kiomi" will be them for they are two which means it should be a plural form of the pronoun.

2. Evita was impressed by Michael's dancing. The pronoun for "Michael" is "his" as it denotes the possessive nature of the dancing.

3. Lauren's favorite author is Mark Twain. The pronoun for "Lauren" will be "her" for it is a singular form of possession.

4. Jamal and Carl were curious about the building's history. "Jamal and Carl" are two persons and thus, their pronoun will be "they".
