Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
He might have concealed from ___ but not from ___.

• A. other/herself
• B. others/himself
• C. each other/him
• D. themselves/us
• E. on another/it

Answer 1

The correct option is B others/himself

When the subject and the object of the verb is the same person or thing, we use a reflexive pronoun.

In the given sentence the subject and the object of the verb is 'he'.

The reflexive pronoun for singular third person is 'himself','herself' or 'itself' according to the gender of the noun. In the given sentence the subject is a male. So the reflexive pronoun 'himself' must be used. So, the second blank of the given sentence must be 'himself'.

'Him', 'us' and 'it' are not reflexive pronouns.

'Others' is a pronoun. Only others can be used as a pronoun and not 'other'.

It is thus clear that the first blank must be 'others'.

Thus option B is the correct answer.

Options A,C,D,E are incorrect.
