Question

Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks with reflexive or emphasizing pronouns.

I ______ spoke to the Director General of Police. He assured me that he would ______ look into my case. [Basic]

• A. herself, himself
• B. myself, himself
• C. ourselves, yourself
• D. itself, yourself

Answer 1

The correct option is B myself, himself

For both blanks, we need pronouns for emphasis alone. Hence, both pronouns will be emphatic pronouns. In the first blank, the pronoun should refer to the subject 'I', so the answer will be 'myself'. In the second blank, it should refer to 'he', so the answer will be 'himself'.
