Questions and Answers

1.

This alarm clock turns ___ off.
- A.
  
  Themself
- B.
  
  Itself
- C.
  
  Herself
- D.
  
  Yourself
Correct Answer
B. Itself

Explanation
The correct answer is "itself" because an alarm clock is an inanimate object and cannot turn "themself" or "herself" off. The pronoun "yourself" is also incorrect because it implies that the person using the alarm clock is responsible for turning it off, rather than the alarm clock having the ability to turn itself off. Therefore, "itself" is the most appropriate pronoun to use in this context.

The word "something" is the correct answer because it is the only option that is grammatically correct in the given sentence.
