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.

This question is about "The crucible".
Answer and Explanation:
Theocracy is the basis for all administrative and governmental decisions in the whole plot of "The Crucible". In this case, it is believed that the existence of "witches" is causing problems in the city. It is the government's responsibility to end the city's problems, in this case, the theocratic government, like the one in history, seeks to resolve them with teligious justifications.
Although all the characters show theocracy's effects on their personalities, the ones who show this most clearly are those who have government and religious influence in the city, such as Reverend Parris, Herrick, Judge Hathorne and Judge Danforth.
This group of stanzas present an alternate rhyme pattern, which follow the ABAB CDAD format; there are four sounds present and and each is used in the particular order defined by the letters in the format. This makes for a poem's purpose, and the stanzas can also be used for a march song since they can be followed by instruments in an even metre (which is a pattern used in march songs for accented first beats).
