Personal pronoun or just noun as an answer?

Hi,,,

I need every teacher's advice.

JJust simply we can ask like this? "What does Jenny do at 4 pm?"

I should answer the question using a proper personal pronoun like she.

So, the correct answer is "She does her homework at 4 pm."

I know, however, the following answer could be grammatically right, too.

Jenny does her homework at 4 pm.

What do you think of this?

Which one is the correctly recommended option, she or Jenny?

Your response would be truly appreciated.

Cheers,

Patrick

In basic level language classes, the teacher often expects 'Jenny' as the response. In advanced classes and real English. 'she' is the appropriate response.
