Explanation:

The problem involves identifying correct pronouns and their functions (as pronoun or adjective) in sentences. This falls under Linguistics (subfield of Arts), focusing on grammar and pronoun usage. For each sentence:

1. (1) "those" is correct (demonstrative pronoun referring to plural nouns). Cross out "them".
2. (2) "Those" is correct (demonstrative pronoun for plural "things"). Cross out "Them".
3. (3) "count" (subject "None" can take plural verb when referring to plural "them").
4. (4) "What" (interrogative pronoun for asking the motivator). Cross out "Something".
5. (5) "were" (subject "both" (reasons) is plural).
6. (6) "This" (demonstrative pronoun for singular "what God desires"). Cross out "Those".
7. (7) "agree" (subject "Some" (people) is plural).
8. (8) "say" (subject "Others" is plural).
9. (9) "Whom" (object of "believe").
10. (10) "Whose" (possessive pronoun for "example").

For pronoun function (11 - 20):

1. "Many" functions as pronoun (subject, refers to experiences).
2. "one" functions as pronoun (refers to a frontier home).
3. "any" functions as adjective (modifies "family").
4. "Other" functions as adjective (modifies "times").
5. "Much" functions as pronoun (refers to time).
6. "that" functions as pronoun (refers to the place/way of studying).
7. "few" functions as adjective (modifies "doctors or dentists").
8. "another" functions as pronoun (refers to a threat).
9. "What" functions as pronoun (subject of "kept").
10. "nothing" functions as pronoun (refers to the sustaining factor).
