    • Himself

    • Yourself

    • Themselves

    • Himself

    Correct Answer
    A. Yourself
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "yourself". In this question, "yourself" is used to ask if the person being addressed made the dress. The pronoun "yourself" is the reflexive form of "you", indicating that the person being addressed is the one who made the dress.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Can you do many things __________ ?

    • Yourself

    • Herself

    • Yourselves

    • Themselves

    Correct Answer
    A. Yourself
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "yourself" because the question is asking if the person can do many things on their own or without assistance. "Yourself" is the reflexive pronoun that refers to the person being addressed, indicating that they have the ability to accomplish tasks independently.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Are you always so sure of ________ ?

    • Yourself

    • Yourselves

    • Himself

    • Herself

    Correct Answer
    A. Yourself
    Explanation
    The question is asking about being always sure of something. The word "yourself" is the correct answer because it refers to being sure of one's own abilities, decisions, or beliefs. It is a singular pronoun that matches the subject of the sentence, which is "you" in this case. "Yourselves" is incorrect because it is a plural pronoun and does not match the subject. "Himself" and "herself" are also incorrect because they refer to being sure of someone else, not oneself.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Did the students answer all the questions ________?

    • Themselves

    • Himself

    • Herself

    • Yourself

    Correct Answer
    A. Themselves
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "themselves" because the word "students" is plural, indicating that there is more than one student. Therefore, it is logical to assume that they would answer the questions on their own rather than relying on a single person (himself, herself, or yourself) to answer all the questions.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Did your mother buy anything for ______ last week?

    • Herself

    • Himself

    • Yourself

    • Themselves

    Correct Answer
    A. Herself
    Explanation
    The question is asking if the mother bought anything for someone last week. The correct answer is "herself" because it implies that the mother bought something for her own benefit or use. The other options ("himself," "yourself," and "themselves") are not appropriate because they do not refer to the mother specifically.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Children, can you cut your nails ______?

    • Yourselves

    • Yourself

    • Himself

    • Herself

    Correct Answer
    A. Yourselves
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "yourselves" because the question is asking if the children can cut their own nails. "Yourselves" is the reflexive pronoun used for plural subjects, indicating that the action is done by the subject to themselves.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Can a little boy take care of ________ ?

    • Themselves

    • Himself

    • Herself

    A. Himself
    Explanation
     Since the sentence speaks about a “little boy”, the reflexive pronoun must be “himself”. A little boy can take care of himself

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    • Themselves

    • Himself

    • Herself

    He always combs his hair ______.

    • Themself

    • Himself

    • Herself

    • Themselves

    Correct Answer
    A. Himself
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "himself" because the pronoun "he" is used in the sentence, indicating that the subject is male. Therefore, the reflexive pronoun "himself" is the appropriate choice to indicate that he combs his own hair.
