    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
    Although many people complain about her frank opinions, they seem perfectly alright to myself.

    A.

    complain about

    B.

    Although many people

    C.

    to myself

    D.

    they seem

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains a grammatical error.
    Explanation:
    The reflexive pronoun “myself” is incorrectly used here. The correct word should be “me”, as there is no verb that requires a reflexive pronoun in the sentence.
    Correct sentence: ...they seem perfectly alright to me.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Reflexive pronouns (myself, herself, himself, etc.) are used only when the subject and object are the same person, or for emphasis. Here, “myself” is wrongly used instead of the object pronoun “me”.
    Example:
    · I hurt myself while playing. ✔
    · This gift is for me. (Not: “for myself”) ✔
    Information Booster:
    Do not use reflexive pronouns in place of personal pronouns like “me”, “him”, “her” in prepositional phrases.
