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

The teacher advised the students to behave ______ during the programme. She said that she _____ would be in trouble if they created any problems. [Intermediate]

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A themselves, herself

In the first blank, the pronoun should refer to 'the students', so the pronoun will be the third person plural pronoun 'themselves'.

In the second blank, the pronoun must refer to the teacher, so the answer will be the third person singular feminine pronoun 'herself'.
