Question

Fill in the blank using a suitable pronoun:
We've learnt a lot about ______ in this training workshop.

• A. herself
• B. himself
• C. themselves
• D. ourselves

Answer 1

The correct option is D ourselves

Reflexive pronouns are words ending in '-self' or -'selves' that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same. All the given words are 'reflexive pronouns'. The subject of the given sentence is 'We'. The word which fills the blank is the object of the sentence. Hence, it must also refer to the word, 'We'. The word, 'ourselves' means 'we' or 'us personally'. Hence, it is the most appropriate word to fill the blank. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect as they refer to different pronouns ('she', 'he' and 'they') which are not the same as 'we'.
