Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable pronoun:

Don't worry about Tom and me. We can look after _______.

• A. themselves
• B. ourselves
• C. itself
• D. himself

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

When the subject and the object of the verb is the same person or thing, we use a reflexive pronoun.

In the given sentence the subject and object is plural.

'Ourselves' is the reflexive pronoun for the plural first person. Thus option B is the correct answer.

'Themselves' is the reflexive pronoun for third person plural. Thus option A is also incorrect.

The reflexive pronoun for singular third person is 'himself','herself' or 'itself' according to the gender of the noun. Thus options C and D are incorrect.
