Question

Which sentence uses an intensive pronoun? A) my hairdresser never doesn't her own hair B) you yourself are responsible for doing your own laundry C) All of the dentists agreed that they liked the new toothpaste D) The butler polished the silverware while he whistled a jaunty tune

PLEASE ANSWER

Answer 1

B) You yourself are responsible for doing your own laundry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pronouns are words used instead of nouns and noun phrases.

An intensive pronoun is a pronoun we use to place emphasis on its antecedent (the word it refers to). Pronouns that belong to the category of intensive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.

The only option that contains this type of pronoun is option B. We could omit it and say You are responsible for doing your own laundry. This proves that the purpose of the pronoun yourself is to add emphasis to the word you.
