Question

Select an appropriate pronoun to fill in the blank.

They had a great time. They really enjoyed ________.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B themselves

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 'they'.

'Themselves' is the reflexive pronoun for third person plural 'they'. Thus option B is the correct answer.

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

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