Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
He dressed ________ in spite of his injuries.

A.

yourself

B.

itself

C.

himself

D.

myself

Correct option is C

The correct option is (c).

The sentence requires a reflexive pronoun because the subject “He” performs the action of dressing on himself. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object are the same person. For the subject “he,” the correct reflexive pronoun is himself.

Explanation: “He dressed himself” means he managed to put on clothes on his own, even though he was injured. This matches the context “in spite of his injuries,” showing effort and self-action.

Example: Despite the pain, he prepared breakfast himself.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) yourself: Used with “you,” not “he.” (Hindi meaning: तुम स्वयं)
  • (B) itself: Used for non-living things/animals in some contexts, not for a male person. (Hindi: स्वयं (वस्तु/जानवर))
  • (D) myself: Used with “I,” not “he.” (Hindi: मैं स्वयं)
So the correct answer is (c)
