Question 10 • 26-27 - C - RUSD American Lit

Read the sentences. Jaden was intent on fixing the bicycle ______. He didn’t want any help from Pierre or Borja. Which best fits in the blank?

Answer
A
himself
B
yourself
C
myself
D
itself

Explanation

The pronoun should refer to Jaden, so it must be third-person singular and match him. “Himself” emphasizes that Jaden wanted to fix the bicycle without anyone else’s help. “Yourself” and “myself” refer to different people, and “itself” would refer to the bicycle.
