Answer 2

Answer:

Intensive pronoun ( B )

Explanation:

An intensive pronoun is used to emphasize the importance of an antecedent. while an Antecedent is an expression that gives meaning to something that has existed before or precedes another ( also known as a Proform ). An intensive pronoun is used to emphasize on such expression such that it gives the expression a clearer meaning and understanding to the reader of the sentence in which the context is found. Example of such pronoun in a sentence is : Paul missed his flight because he overslept last night. from this sentence he is the intensive pronoun while Paul is the antecedent of he in the sentence.
