Complete the sentence with an appropriate INTENSIVE PRONOUN. Diana found the story difficult to believe
ivanzaharov [21]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Complete the sentence with an appropriate intensive pronouns.

Diana found the story difficult to believe______________.

A. she

B. itself

C. herself

Answer:

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Explanation:

<u>Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the nouns they refer to.</u> We need to be careful because intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns are actually the same - myself, yourself, himself, etc. It is the use in context that differs.

In the sentence we are supposed to complete, we need to choose the appropriate intensive pronoun among the options. <u>Since "she" is a subject pronoun, we can already eliminate it. If we use "itself", we will be emphasizing "story". However, the person who has difficulty believing the story is Diana. She is the one who should be emphasized. Therefore, we can eliminate "itself" and safely choose "herself".</u>

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

<span>In these two stories or literary novels"Sixteen" by Maureen Daly and "Through the Tunnel" by Doris Lessing "who are both authors or wordsmiths, Maureen Daly and Doris Lessing" uses a theme, subject, or topic matter of their characters or dramatis personae who are wanting to prove, validate, and justify themselves to someone. However, the differences, distinctions ,or variation of these two stories or literary novels becomes starkly useless , entirely obsolete, and exhaustively and consummately kaput when who or whom the two characters or dramatis personae aspire to prove, validate, and justify themselves to. In "Sixteen" by Maureen Daly the principal character, main character, or dramatis personae seems to be attempting or trying really and truly hard to prove, validate, and justify herself to the reader, that she is insightful and perceptive enough and popular enough to congruous be  telling this story or literary novel. But ​in "Through the Tunnel" Jerry  attempts or tries really and truly hard to prove, validate, and justify himself to the older, mature looking men he looks up to and withal to himself.

While both stories or literary novels are starkly different in subject, theme ,or topic matter that both principal characters, main characters, or dramatis personae attempt or try to prove, validate, and justify themselves to someone. In "Sixteen," by Maureen Daly it is the reader. In the story or literary novels "Through the Tunnel," by Doris Lessing it is the older, mature looking men and later himself that makes Jerry to push past his inhibitions and fears and conquer or overcome them . The second homogeneous or same attribute or kindred characteristic between the two stories or literary novels is that the people or characters who had transpired to repeal the principal characters, main characters ,or dramatis personae which of course whom never present themselves again, are the leading cause that  prompts  both characters or dramatis personae in these two stories or  literary novels by of course being ostentatious with their earnest and veracious and genuine general and exhaustively simply authentic and true feelings and motivations all throughout these two stories or literary novels.</span>

AleksandrR [38]

Answer: : I am that merry wanderer of the night. I <u>jest </u>to Oberon and make him smile When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, Neighing in likeness of a filly foal.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from Shakespeare's play, <em>A Midsummer Night's Dream. </em>The play is about the marriage of Theseus, who is the Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta, as well as the events connected to it.

These lines are uttered by a jester, Robin, in Act 2 Scene 1 . His character is based on Puck, a figure from Elizabethan folklore, who plays with people by pulling tricks on them. In this excerpt, Robin describes himself and his tricks to the Fairy. He explains how he 'jests' to Oberon, which means that he makes jokes. He claims that he is able to make a horse believe that he is a female horse.
