Writing a Personal Narrative about an Important Person — Quiz
Question 9 • M/J Language Arts 3 Advanced
Read the first sentences in Dorthea’s personal narrative. Student Work 1. Jamie and Jeremy are my next door neighbors. 2. They are brother and sister. 3. Everyday, myself walks to school with them. What problem needs to be fixed in Dorthea’s narrative?
Answer
A
Dorthea should identify herself as a character in her narrative.
B
The pronoun “they” should be replaced with the pronoun “we.”
C
In sentence 3, Dorthea should identify herself with a different pronoun.
D
The word “Everyday” should be removed from the beginning of sentence 3.
Explanation
In sentence 3, “myself” is used incorrectly. The sentence needs the subject pronoun “I”: “Every day, I walk to school with them.” “Myself” is a reflexive pronoun and cannot take the place of “I” as the subject of the sentence, so choice C is correct.
