Read the excerpt below and answer the question. i do not believe what you did to yourself is for the best. what type of pronoun is in italics in the quotation from oedipus the king? demonstrative intensive reflexive indefinite

 The pronoun yourself in this quotation is reflecting an action the author of the same receives as the result. That means: Someone (you) did something to someone (yourself), and when the author and the object of that action is the same person, a reflective pronoun is used. Other examples are: She cut herself. They are helping themselves.

Answer is C.

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
