What is the primary function of intensive pronouns in a sentence?

  1. To modify a verb or adjective

  2. To emphasize a noun or pronoun

  3. To show the relationship of ownership

  4. To provide additional information about a subject

The correct answer is: To emphasize a noun or pronoun

Intensive pronouns, also known as emphatic pronouns, are used in a sentence to emphasize or intensify a noun or pronoun that is already present. They do not modify a verb or adjective, show ownership, or provide additional information about a subject. Instead, their primary function is to add emphasis to a specific word in the sentence.
