In William Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet </em>(Act 3, Scene 5), Capulet and the nurse enter the stage and he starts talking to Lady Capulet about how she cries nonstop. She compares her and her little body to a ship, the sea and the wind. He goes on to say that if she doesn't stop crying soon, her raging wind (sighs) and the sea (her eyes overflowing with tears) are going to sink her ship (her body).
Answer:
Reflexive pronouns in the passage: ourselves, themselves.
Intensive pronouns in the passage: myself, itself.
Explanation:
Both reflexive and intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves. The difference lies in the way they are used, according to the context.<u> Reflexive pronouns indicate that the same person or thing is both the subject and the object of the verb.</u> A common example is:
- I cut myself. --> I am the one who performed the action of cutting. I am also the one who was cut.
<u>Intensive pronouns, on the other hand, emphasize the importance of something or someone. They are usually not essential to convey meaning in the sentence. </u>For example:
- The president himself addressed the issue. --> Emphasis on the fact that is was the president, rather than any other person.
An easy way to distinguish between the two types of pronouns is by their position in the sentence. I<u>ntensive pronouns come right after the noun they refer to. Reflexive pronouns come after the verb or a preposition. </u>Having that in mind, we can answer:
Reflexive pronouns in the passage: ourselves, themselves.
Intensive pronouns in the passage: myself, itself.
Answer:
D. Formal
Explanation:
Let us examine each option carefully.
Every word contributes to the meaning of the sentence with no redundant or unnecessary words. This eliminates option A, i.e., 'wordy'.
The sentence is eloquent and does not have any breaks in its flow anywhere. Hence, it is not 'choppy'.
It is written in proper Standard English grammar, and is a complete sentence without any breaks or usage of vernacular or slang words, or any other causal mode of communication such as emoticons or short forms of words (contractions), which makes it a formal and not a casual sentence.
