Using Pronouns Correctly

Question 113810 • DBN LA 8-CR

Which sentence correctly uses an intensive pronoun?

Answer
A
If we have extra popcorn, we can keep it for ourselves.
B
I myself would never quit the team in the middle of a season.
C
Adriana told herself that she could make it to top of the mountain.
D
Jerome and his brothers always support one another.

Explanation

An intensive pronoun emphasizes a noun or pronoun and can be removed without changing the sentence’s basic meaning. In “I myself would never quit,” “myself” emphasizes “I.” In choice C, “herself” is needed as the object of “told,” so it is reflexive rather than intensive.
