1. The correct sentence is "d. She is younger than he and I."
To determine the correct sentence, we need to understand the rules of pronoun usage in comparative constructions. When making a comparison, the pronouns used should be in the subjective form. In this sentence, the pronouns "he" and "I" are both the subject of the verb "are," so they should be in the subjective form. Therefore, the correct phrasing is "She is younger than he and I."
2. The correct sentence is "b. They, themselves, had a happy holiday celebration."
To determine the correct sentence, we need to understand the rules of reflexive pronoun usage. In this sentence, the pronoun "themselves" is used to refer back to the noun "they." It is important to use the reflexive pronoun when the subject of a sentence and the object are the same. Therefore, the correct phrasing is "They, themselves, had a happy holiday celebration."
3. The correct sentence is "c. As I take it lying down, blood pressure is 170/100 in the left arm."
To determine the correct sentence, we need to understand the rules of adverbial clause placement. In this sentence, the adverbial clause "As I take it lying down" is describing how the blood pressure is measured. The adverbial clause should be placed at the beginning of the sentence to indicate the relationship between the action of taking the blood pressure and the result of 170/100 in the left arm. Therefore, the correct phrasing is "As I take it lying down, blood pressure is 170/100 in the left arm."
