Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "...But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while a

t first." White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat. What can the reader infer about Della’s reaction to opening her gift? Della was so excited to have the combs she had wanted, that she momentarily forgets she has cut her hair. She cries as she realizes she will not be able to use them. Della excitedly opens her gift, and cries tears of joy when she realizes what Jim has bought for her. Della is at first excited to have the combs, then she cries because she knows they have cost Jim too much. Della is happy about receiving the gift, but she is worried that Jim will not be able to forgive her.

Which sentence in the passage uses an intensive pronoun?
Ugo [173]

An intensive or reflexive pronoun is the two identical pronouns but differs in their function. Intensive pronouns are used to lay emphasis on the antecedent or the subject in the sentence. Intensive pronouns end with "selves" or "self". For example yourself, myself, themselves and so on.

Another way to identify the intensive pronoun in the sentence is by removing it from the sentence. Hence, if the sentence makes sense it is an intensive pronoun. On the other hand, if it doesn't make sense it is a reflexive pronoun.

Therefore, in the above passage sentence which uses intensive pronoun is,

"Ronnie herself walked up to him and ordered two lattes."

If the intensive pronoun 'herself' is removed, it still makes sense as:

Ronnie walked up to him and ordered two lattes.
