Which pronoun emphasizes the subject in a sentence?

1. Yours

2. Himself

3. Them

4. Our

The correct answer is: Himself

The correct answer is "Himself." This pronoun functions as a reflexive pronoun, which emphasizes the subject of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "He did it himself," the use of "himself" highlights that the subject (he) was the one performing the action without assistance, adding emphasis to his involvement. The other options do not serve the same function of emphasizing the subject. "Yours" is a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership. "Them" is a pronoun used to refer to a group of people or objects but does not emphasize anything about the subject. "Our" is also a possessive pronoun, referring to something belonging to the speaker and others, and does not provide emphasis on the subject.
