Question

Which sentence correctly uses an intensive pronoun? If we have extra popcorn, we can keep it for ourselves. I myself would never quit the team in the middle of a season. Adriana told herself that she could make it to top of the mountain. Jerome and his brothers always support one another.

Answer 1

"I myself would never quit the team in the middle of a season." uses an intensive pronoun correctly. Without "myself" the essential meaning of the sentence doesn't change, which makes myself an intensive pronoun, as it adds emphasis to the sentence.

Answer 2

Answer: B) I myself would never quit the team in the middle of a season.

Explanation: Intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the subject, they are usually placed right after the noun or pronoun it's modifying. Some intensive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. From the given sentences, the one that contains an example of an intensive pronoun is option B, because adding "myself" after the subject "I" only helps to emphasize the subject.
