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.
Answer: A - agitation
Explanation:
We noticed synonyms in the passage as it calmed down, as it was not calm; convulsively - another synonym for agitation; an intelligible prayer - with a sense of agitation.
I have described myself as always having been imbued with a
fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature.
In this line, the author is exploring man versus nature. The
word or phrase from this passage that best demonstrated the conflict between
man and nature is perhaps ‘penetrate’ or specifically ‘penetrate the secrets of
nature’.
‘Penetrate’ means to succeed in forcing a way into or
through. This signifies that the persona in this passage wants to understand
the mysteries that surround nature.

Subject : Need to improve living conditions in slums.
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper. I would like to draw your kind attention towards the miserable living conditions in slums. Country’s growth depends upon the skills of the people and the application of knowledge, inherited or acquired by them. The people living in slums don’t have basic facilities like - food, shelter & clothing. They only dream to be educated. The major cause is illiteracy but above all lack of job opportunities in rural areas force these people to migrate from rural to urban areas to earn their livelihood. Thereby many of them land up living in slums. Even if the government gives them houses to live. Many are unaware, a few rent these houses & earn the money & there are some who fight to get the allotted facilities due to corruption in India.
*All this quadruples the problems faced by these people
*Solutions
*Stephen spender in the poem ‘The elementary school in a slum’ talks about the importance of education in our lives.*
