Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The error is in the phrase "He itself took the responsibility."
Explanation: A reflexive pronoun must refer back to the subject and agree in person and gender. The subject here is "He" (a male), so the correct reflexive pronoun is "himself," not "itself."
Correct sentence: He himself took the responsibility to arrange all the necessary things for the party.
Key rule: Use a reflexive pronoun that matches the subject. Reflexive pronouns can also be used for emphasis.
I → myself
You → yourself
He → himself
She → herself
It → itself
We → ourselves
They → themselves
Therefore, replace "itself" with "himself" to correct the sentence.
