CIO, reflexive pronouns
 |
Michael Dell and ________ are responsible for the decision. We will ask each employee to take an unpaid vacation this quarter. a. myself b. I |
Answer: b
Explanation: Be alert to a tendency to use reflexive pronoun forms (ending in -self) where they are neither appropriate nor necessary. This sentence requires a subject pronoun. You wouldn’t say “Myself am responsible for the decision.”
