Which intensive pronoun correctly completes the sentence?

The actors _____ wanted to present the award to the director.

A.
themselves

B.
she

C.
her

A. themselves

A. themselves

The correct intensive pronoun that completes the sentence is A. themselves.

An intensive pronoun is used to emphasize or intensify a noun or pronoun already mentioned in the sentence. In this case, the noun being emphasized is "actors." To identify the correct intensive pronoun, we need to select the pronoun that reflects the same person or thing as the noun it is emphasizing.

In option A, "themselves" is the correct intensive pronoun because it reflects the plural noun "actors" and emphasizes their action or intention.

Option B, "she," is incorrect because it is a subjective pronoun used as the subject of a sentence, not an intensive pronoun that emphasizes the noun "actors".

Option C, "her," is incorrect because it is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership, not an intensive pronoun that emphasizes the noun "actors".
