Which pronoun can reflect back to the subject in a sentence?

  1. Herself

  2. They

  3. Ours

  4. Theirs

The correct answer is: Herself

In grammar, a reflexive pronoun is a pronoun that is preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun to which it refers, within the same clause. In this case, "herself" is the reflexive pronoun that can reflect back to the subject in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She bought herself a new book," "herself" refers back to the subject "she." The other options do not function as reflexive pronouns: "They" is a subject pronoun, "ours" is a possessive pronoun, and "theirs" is also a possessive pronoun.
