What do u specifically mean by the question???
Here is just an example:
How gracious of you to accept my apology, after losing the bag that contained the present.
Themselves
This reflexive pronoun is the best fit because it needs to agree with the antecedent--in this case "scholars". Because scholars is plural, the pronoun also needs to be plural. Themselves is a plural reflexive pronoun, so it will properly complete the sentence.
imperalism is driven by the desire to maintain an image of control
