Question

Fill in the blank using a suitable pronoun.
___________ must not praise oneself.
a) Some
b) One
c) Any
d) No

Answer 1

Hint:
Complete answer:
If we use “some” as in option a, the reflexive pronoun cannot be oneself. Thus, option a is wrong. Some is a quantitative word, it denotes quantity. For example, some candies, some trees, etc.
Option b is correct because the pronoun is “one”. So the reflexive pronoun oneself is the correct answer.
Option c is wrong because the reflexive pronoun of “any” is not oneself. “Any must not praise oneself” is not a grammatically correct sentence. The correct usage of “any” is “He was not left with any money after he went gambling”.
Option d is a word that is not a pronoun. The word which would have been more appropriate is “No one”. Therefore, the correct answer is option b.

Note:
Do not select an answer by just seeing the options. Use the words in the sentence to check if it is grammatically correct. Many words are correct on their own but they are not suitable for being used in certain sentences.
