Question 14 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC

A reflexive pronoun is a pronoun

Answer
A
formed with -self or -selves that is used for emphasis.
B
formed with -self or -selves that refers to the subject.
C
that is not formed with -self or -selves.
D
that is not plural or possessive.

Explanation

A reflexive pronoun ends in -self or -selves and refers back to the sentence’s subject. For example, in “She taught herself,” “herself” refers to “she.” Choice A describes an emphatic use, where the pronoun adds emphasis, rather than the defining feature of a reflexive pronoun.
