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.
Answer: Mrs. Mitty breaks into her husband's fantasy as he is imagining himself the commander of "a huge, hurtling eight-engined Navy hydroplane" fighting its way through a storm approaching hurricane velocity.
Explanation:
Not so fast! You’re driving too fast!” said Mrs. Mitty. “What are you driving so fast for?”
Very quickly James Thurber informs us that Mitty lives in a fantasy world at least partly to escape from his domineering wife who has the annoying habit of repeating everything she says.
