This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Complete the sentence with an appropriate intensive pronouns.

Diana found the story difficult to believe______________.

A. she

B. itself

C. herself

Answer:

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Explanation:

<u>Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the nouns they refer to.</u> We need to be careful because intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns are actually the same - myself, yourself, himself, etc. It is the use in context that differs.

In the sentence we are supposed to complete, we need to choose the appropriate intensive pronoun among the options. <u>Since "she" is a subject pronoun, we can already eliminate it. If we use "itself", we will be emphasizing "story". However, the person who has difficulty believing the story is Diana. She is the one who should be emphasized. Therefore, we can eliminate "itself" and safely choose "herself".</u>

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Please help!! Which sentence does not contain any errors? A. Let's each try a bite of Wendys' vegetable dish. B. Whose red socks

A is wrong because "Wendys'" should be "Wendy's", because the possessive isn't plural.

C is wrong because "Its" should be "It's", because "It's" is a contraction for "It is."

D is wrong because the apostrophe should be after "judges", not "statements." Statements do not own anything, but the judges own the statements.

B is the correct answer.

Answer:

Stevenson is saying that when we take a bird’s-eye view, we see everything in a grand perspective. From there, much of what we humans do seems trivial or unimportant. We feel aloof from the rest of humanity, much as Apollo felt when he looked down on humans from atop Mount Olympus. Stevenson likens the man’s Apollo-like view to the pleasure he found in the northern Scottish landscape.

Stevenson used the allusion to Apollo to say that when we look at our experiences from a new perspective, we find unexpected pleasure and experience personal growth. He assumes his readers will be familiar with Apollo and the allusion to him will help them understand his new view of this landscape.
