Question

Select a suitable pronoun to fill in the blank:

Do you like working with other people or do you prefer working by _______?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D yourself

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 'you'.

The reflexive pronoun for singular second person is 'yourself'.

Thus option D is the correct answer.

The reflexive pronoun for singular third person is 'himself','herself' or 'itself' according to the gender of the noun. Thus option A and B are incorrect.

'Ourselves' is the reflexive pronoun for the plural first person. Thus option C is also incorrect.
