Question

Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks with reflexive and emphatic pronouns:

She was pleased with _____ at her brilliant result. Her parents too were beside _____ with joy. [Intermediate]

• A. herself, yourselves
• B. yourself, themselves
• C. herself, themselves
• D. yourself, herself

Answer 1

The correct option is C herself, themselves

In the first blank, we need a reflexive pronoun for 'she', so the right word is 'herself'. In the second blank, we need a pronoun for 'her parents', so the answer will be 'themselves'.
