Answer:
c. The stress on know and fate emphasizes the speaker's certainty that he will die in combat.
Explanation:
William Butler Yeats wrote this poem "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" after the death of Robert Gregory. This poem is a sort of a man accepting his fate, which he seems to be certain of.
The pilot n the poem, also the speaker is an Irishman who held no attachment for any parties of the war. He does not love the country he's fighting for, nor does he hate the enemy side. He also seems to be reconciled with the fact that he will surely die, while flying. He knows for sure that he will "meet (his) fate Somewhere among the clouds above". This shows that it emphasizes the speaker's certainty that he will die in combat. Also, there are n mention of any friends nor of any selfish feelings or self-centeredness in the speaker.

Explanation:
The short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a famed and experienced hunter became the victim of a much more dangerous man. The story also delves into the roles of the hunter and the hunted, and how the two roles are twisted in this story.
When Sanger Rainsford asked Whitney where they are, this shows that he is not familiar with the place and is his first time journeying to this place.
Whitney's statement of him having <em>"seen you pick off a moose moving"</em> shows how excellent Rainford is in his hunting skills.
Rainsford's statement of <em>"who cares how a jaguar feels"</em> shows his unsympathetic attitude towards the animals he hunts.
Whitney's prediction of <em>"it will be light in Rio"</em> shows he has been there before.
A cliche is a well-worn phrase used in conversation or in writing that has lost it's meaning. It's been overused. For example, "She was frightened to death to pet the pitbull..." "frightened to death" is the cliche.
To best answer this question, we must first clarify what an intensive pronoun is.
Intensive pronouns are reflexive pronoun used to add emphasis to a sentence. As a result, an intensive pronoun is not necessary to the meaning of the sentence. Intensive pronouns are the same as reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
Every sentence given above contains reflexive pronouns, but not all of them are intensive pronouns.
In the first sentence, "herself" is a reflexive pronoun. However, it IS essential to the meaning of the sentence. Talking to herself is different than talking to others. Therefore, sentence A. does NOT contain an intensive pronoun.
In the second sentence, "myself" is NOT essential to the meaning of the sentence. If the word "myself' were eliminated from the sentence, the meaning of the sentence would remain the same. There, sentence B. does contain an intensive pronoun.
In the third sentence, the word "themselves" is essential to the meaning of the sentence. If the word "themselves" were eliminated, the meaning of the sentence would not remain the same, because we need to know they went alone (as opposed to going with their parents). As a result, sentence C. does NOT contain an intensive pronoun.
Finally, in the fourth sentence, the word "himself" is necessary to the sentence so that the reader knows just WHO Andy is looking at in the mirror. If this pronoun were removed, the meaning of the sentence would change. As a result, sentence D. does NOT contain an intensive pronoun.
Therefore, the sentence that contains an intensive pronoun is B.
