Question

When the person performing the action in the sentence is also the object of the sentence, the writer should use a_______ pronoun that ends in the suffix -self or -selves.
A. Possessive
B.Reciprocal
C. Reflexive
D. Subjective

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Reflexive

Explanation:

Reflexive Pronouns are those used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same. These pronouns turn the action back on the subject and end with the suffix -self (singular) or -selves (plural). Some reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, herself, himself, itself, themselves, yourselves and ourselves.

The following sentence, for example, uses a reflexive pronoun:

She takes care of herself daily.

She is the subject, and herself is the object.
