Question

Select a suitable pronoun:
What I did was very wrong. I'm ashamed of _______.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

myself

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

The reflexive pronoun for singular first person 'I' is 'myself'. Thus option B 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 is incorrect.

'Themselves' is the reflexive pronoun for third person plural. Thus option C is also incorrect.

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