Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
The couple in the flat upstairs are making _________ unpopular by shouting at _________ at the top of their voices every night.

• A. themselves / each other
• B. them / one another
• C. herself / one another
• D. as / each other

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

themselves / each other

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 'the couple'.

'Himself' and 'Themselves' are the reflexive pronouns for the singular and plural third persons respectively. As in the given sentence a plural noun is used, the reflexive pronoun 'themselves' must be the answer.

'Each other' is a reciprocal pronoun that is used to indicate that the people do the same thing, feel the same way or have the same relationship.

Thus option A is the correct answer. Options B,C,D are incorrect.
