Is the pronoun in the following sentence reflexive or intensive? mandy went to look for the missing cat herself. a. reflexive b. intensive

The correct answer is B. Intensive

Explanation:

In grammar, a pronoun is intensive if it ends in -self or -selves, refers to a noun previously mentioned, and it emphasizes this noun; although it is not essential for the sentence, which means it can be removed without the sentence changing its meaning. These pronouns differ from reflexive pronouns because reflexive pronouns are essential to the sentence. In the case of "Mandy went to look for the missing cat herself" the pronoun "herself" can be classified as intensive because it ends in -self; it emphasizes the noun "Mandy" but it is not essential to the sentence as "Mandy went to look for the missing cat" stills makes sense.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.
