Question
That little girl _______ mother is my work colleague, often played by ________ in the playground.A.who — herselfB.which — hersC.whom – hersD.whose – herself
Solution
The correct answer is D. "Whose – herself"
Here's why:
-
We use "whose" to indicate possession. In this case, the mother belongs to the little girl, so "whose" is the correct word to use.
-
"Herself" is a reflexive pronoun, used when the subject and the object of the sentence are the same person. In this case, the little girl is the one playing, so "herself" is the correct word to use.
