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.

"
