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.

Gemiola [76]
<span>QUESTION 1:  B. The narrator’s mental state.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the wallpaper symbolizes the narrator’s mental state. The narrator actually once describes the wallpaper has having a look like a broken neck and, too, mentions it looks like it committing suicide. The descriptions of the paper get odder and odder with regard aesthetics to eventually what can be interpreted as crazy, and this parallels the narrator’s steady decline into insanity. Because of this parallel, again, the wallpaper can certainly be said to symbolize the narrator’s mental state.

QUESTION 2: B. Feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape.

The narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” projects her own feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape onto the woman creeping behind the wallpaper. As the story progresses, the narrator becomes less and less content with her status within the house/room with the yellow paper. As the story progresses, she begins to see a woman in the wallpaper behind what appear to her as bars. Thus, because the narrator desires to escape her situation as does the woman behind the bars in the wallpaper, it can be said that the woman she sees is a projection of feeling of being trapped and desire to escape.</span>

Sir/Madam

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.*

“Once these people will be educated their language will be sun”* *Awareness is to be spread

How do the children respond to the mother's secret?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: This study examined children’s secret-keeping for a parent and its relationship to trust, theory of mind, secrecy endorsement, and executive functioning (EF). Children (N = 107) between 4 and 12 years of age participated in a procedure wherein parents broke a toy and asked children to promise secrecy. Responses to open-ended and direct questions were examined. Overall, secret-keeping increased with age and promising to keep the secret was related to fewer disclosures in open-ended questioning. Children who kept the secret in direct questioning exhibited greater trust and better parental ratings of EF than children who disclosed the secret. Findings highlight the importance of both social and cognitive factors in secret-keeping development.

Sartre said that we should not take people’s circumstances into account when judging what they have accomplished in life. Do you
lutik1710 [3]

I disagree because some people have more opportunities in life than others and, for this reason, they have the chance to accomplish more.

For instance, a child born in a developing country would probably have less chances in his/her life for education and consequently less job opportunities than a child born in the Western world. Also, in the Western world, two people may have different education opportunities because one is raised by a rich family and the other is raised by a poor one.  

Sometimes circumstances are unfair and so we shouldn't compare the accomplishments of two people without considering their circumstances.
