Read the sentence. The band members came to the hospital to visit a sick fan. Which intensive pronoun would emphasize the subject band members in the sentence?

An intensive pronoun adds emphasis to a noun or pronoun without changing the sentence’s basic meaning. The subject “band members” is plural, so the matching pronoun is “themselves”: “The band members themselves came to the hospital to visit a sick fan.” “Theirselves” is not standard English, and “itself” and “himself” do not agree with the plural subject.
