Question 13 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

Which sentence uses a reflexive pronoun correctly?

Answer
T
They bought concert tickets for me and themselves.
T
The band signed autographs for my friends and myself.
M
My friend got the band to take a photo with herself.
T
They seemed to feel genuinely appreciated by ourselves.

Explanation

In “They bought concert tickets for me and themselves,” “themselves” refers back to the subject “they,” so the reflexive pronoun is used correctly. In B, “myself” has no matching subject and should be “me.” In C, “herself” does not refer to the subject of “to take,” which is “the band.” In D, “ourselves” does not match the subject “they.”
