You're welcome!

TOOK THE TEST AND YES THEY ARE ALL CORRECT

Yes, your answers are correct. Well done!

Let's go through each sentence:

1. Camouflage is one way animals protect (themselves). - Reflexive pronoun
To determine whether the underlined pronoun is reflexive or intensive, you can ask yourself, "Does the pronoun refer back to the subject of the sentence?" In this case, "themselves" refers back to "animals," so it is reflexive.

2. Some animals (themselves) are protected with built-in camouflage. - Intensive pronoun
Again, you can ask yourself, "Does the pronoun refer back to the subject of the sentence?" In this case, "themselves" does not refer back to the subject "Some animals." Instead, it adds emphasis to the sentence, making it an intensive pronoun.

3. A mother polar bear can hide (herself) and her cubs in the open. - Reflexive pronoun
The pronoun "herself" refers back to the subject "A mother polar bear," making it reflexive.

4. The bear's fur (itself) blends with the surrounding snow. - Intensive pronoun
The pronoun "itself" does not refer back to the subject "The bear's fur." Instead, it adds emphasis to the sentence, making it an intensive pronoun.

5. The otter protects (itself) by blending in with the nearby tree trunks. - Reflexive pronoun
The pronoun "itself" refers back to the subject "The otter," making it reflexive.

So, your answers are correct. Keep up the great work!
