4. Underline the indefinite pronouns in the following paragraph.
I went on another trip last week. Few have visited the park I saw, because everyone visits Yellowstone. I saw something moving in the woods, but could not see it clearly. Then there was more movement and everybody saw it. Either could have been a bear or both were just the wind. Nobody could figure it out, but we had many guesses. The scenery there was gorgeous; one could see for miles. Anybody would love that one view of the valley because nothing is more beautiful.
