This alarm clock turns ___ off.
- A.
Themself
- B.
Itself
- C.
Herself
- D.
Yourself
Correct Answer
B. ItselfExplanation
The correct answer is "itself" because an alarm clock is an inanimate object and cannot turn "themself" or "herself" off. The pronoun "yourself" is also incorrect because it implies that the person using the alarm clock is responsible for turning it off, rather than the alarm clock having the ability to turn itself off. Therefore, "itself" is the most appropriate pronoun to use in this context.Rate this question:
