In the question below, a section is given in bold, which may not be the grammatically correct form. Choose the answer from the given options that can correctly replace the highlighted portion, without changing the intended meaning.

Divya and myself have decided to go to the gym from Monday onwards.

Correct option is C

Sentence given:
Divya and myself have decided to go to the gym from Monday onwards.

The incorrect part is: myself

Why it is incorrect:

Strict Rule 1:
Reflexive pronouns (myself, himself, herself, ourselves, etc.) cannot be used as subjects of a sentence.

Rule:
Reflexive pronouns are used only when the subject and object refer to the same person.

Correct example of reflexive pronoun:
I hurt myself while playing.
Here, “I” and “myself” refer to the same person.

In the given sentence, “myself” is wrongly used as part of the subject. The correct subject pronoun is “I.”

Strict Rule 2 (Subject–Verb Agreement):
“Divya and I” forms a plural subject, so the verb must be “have,” not “has.”

Now option-wise analysis:

A) me have decided

Incorrect.
“Me” is an object pronoun and cannot be used as a subject.

Incorrect example:
Me and Riya are going out.
Correct: Riya and I are going out.

B) me has decided

Incorrect for two reasons:

1.       “Me” cannot be a subject.

2.       “Has” is singular, but the subject is plural.

C) I have decided

Correct.

Revised sentence:
Divya and I have decided to go to the gym from Monday onwards.

This uses the correct subject pronoun “I” and keeps the correct plural verb “have.”

Example:
Aman and I have completed the task.

D) I has decided

Incorrect.
“Divya and I” is plural, so the verb must be “have.”

Incorrect example:
Rohan and I has finished the work.
Correct: Rohan and I have finished the work.

E) No improvement required

Incorrect because “myself” is wrongly used as a subject.

Correct Sentence:
Divya and I have decided to go to the gym from Monday onwards.

Final Answer: C) I have decided
