Question

Identify the sentence with an incorrect use of a reflexive pronoun:

• A. I bought myself a new phone.
• B. She prepared the dinner by herself.
• C. He asked him to help with the project.
• D. They congratulated themselves on their victory.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. He asked him to help with the project.

The correct answer is option c) "He asked him to help with the project." In this sentence, "him" is not a reflexive pronoun. A correct reflexive pronoun in this context would be "himself," as in "He asked himself to help with the project."
