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:
B. The composer's faith in the instrument and his knowledge of it played an important role in his success as a solo performer.
Explanation:
Option B is the correct answer. It is correct pronoun-antecedent agreement.
We all know that a pronoun is a word used instead of a noun. An antecedent is known to be a word which a pronoun stands for in a sentence.
For example, in the sentence above, the antecedent is the "composer" and the pronoun that refers to the antecedent is "his". We can see that the pronoun agrees with the antecedent. In pronoun-antecedent, the pronoun in the sentence must agree with its antecedent in number. This means that a singular pronoun must replace a singular noun while plural pronoun must replace a plural noun.
Sometimes to use comparison's or like for example similes wich means like and metaphores meaning comparisons
