Question

"What revision should be made?

After all the toys were loaded into the sleigh, all the elves made theirselves a big glass of chocolate milk.
A. delete the comma after sleigh
B. change theirselves to themselves
C. change big to bigger
D. change theirselves to theirselfs"

Answer 1

The correct revision is B, changing 'theirselves' to 'themselves' to correct the reflexive pronoun use in the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The revision that should be made is: B. change theirselves to themselves. This is because theirselves is not a word in the English language. The correct reflexive form of they when used as a subject is themselves. The sentence should read, "After all the toys were loaded into the sleigh, all the elves made themselves a big glass of chocolate milk."
