Answer: Young drivers must remember to always turn off cell phones before getting behind the wheel.

Answer:

Young drivers must remember to always turn off cell phones before getting behind the wheel.

Explanation:

This has the strongest emphasis for me, because 'always' is a very harsh and completely unambiguous word in this context.

The other split infinitives, "to not text", "to fully focus", and "to completely ignore", do not have the same effect, and sound odd and unnatural, whereas "to always turn off" sounds much more definite.

Additionally, "to fully focus" contains alliteration, which trivialises the serious matter being discussed (safe driving), as it 'poeticises' the statement somewhat.

I myself have ready books.<br><br> Is this Reflexive or<br> Intensive
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The answer should be reflexive

Explanation:

Because if you cut 'myself' out, it doesn't really make sense. A reflexive sentence is usually like, 'I myself went out to the mall last night'. If you cut myself out of this sentence it would become, 'I went out to the mall last night' which still makes a lot of sense. In the statement, 'I myself have ready books', when you cut out 'myself' it becomes, 'I have ready books' which does not really sound right to me. So it would be a Reflexive pronoun!!!! If it makes sense when you remove a 'self' statement then it is an Intensive pronoun. If it does not make sense, then it isn't.

Hope this helped.
