Answer 1

In the given sentences, there are two subject pronouns ('who', 'you'), one reflexive pronoun ('themselves'), and one possessive adjective ('your'). The correct answer is option (B). These pronouns each have specific roles and cases in grammar.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the provided sentences, we can identify the following pronouns: 'who' as a subject pronoun, 'themselves' as a reflexive pronoun, and 'your' as a possessive adjective. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Two subject pronouns, one reflexive pronoun, and one possessive adjective. The subject personal pronouns 'who' and 'you' serve as the subjects of their respective clauses. The reflexive pronoun 'themselves' is used to refer back to 'people,' indicating that the action of hurting is done by them to themselves. The possessive adjective 'your' is used to show ownership of the experience by the person being addressed. Pronouns have different cases: subjective, objective, and possessive, and it's important to use them correctly to maintain grammatical accuracy.
