Question

"For many working people like myself, Saturday is the only day of the week to take advantage of the breathtaking and thought-provoking artwork our museum has to offer."The above sentence has a grammatical error—what is it and how should it be corrected?

• A. 'myself' should be ‘me’
• B. 'like' should be ‘such as’
• C. 'breathtaking' should be ‘breath taking’
• D. 'has' should be ‘had’

Answer 1

The correct option is A 'myself' should be ‘me’

Option (A)

The pronoun myself is generally used reflexively as the direct or indirect object of a verb or as the object of a preposition: I pinched myself to see if I was awake. Sometimes, it is used as emphasis: I myself thought it was a good idea. Use of myself is not appropriate if it does not refer to the subject of the sentence. Here, Saturday is the subject of the sentence. Myself does not refer to the subject of the sentence. Therefore (A) is correct.
