1. These pronouns connect or relate the noun or pronoun to a phrase.
✔ Answer: E. Relative
*Explanation:* Relative pronouns (like *who, whom, whose, which, that*) introduce relative clauses and connect them back to a noun or pronoun in the main clause. Example: “The book
that you gave me is great.” — “that” relates “book” to the phrase “you gave me.”

2. These are pronouns that pertain to a specific person, group, or object.
✔ Answer: C. Personal
*Explanation:* Personal pronouns (like *I, you, he, she, it, we, they*) refer to specific people, groups, or things. Example: “
She is my sister.” — “She” refers to a specific person.
---
3. These are used when the subject of a sentence is also its object.
✔ Answer: A. Reflexive
*Explanation:* Reflexive pronouns (like *myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves*) are used when the subject and object are the same. Example: “I hurt
myself.” — “I” is the subject, and “myself” is the object referring back to “I.”

5. These pronouns are like reflexive pronouns but function differently.
✔ Answer: D. Intensive
*Explanation:* Intensive pronouns look identical to reflexive pronouns (*myself, yourself, etc.*) but are used for emphasis, not as objects. Example: “I
myself baked the cake.” — “myself” emphasizes “I,” but the sentence still makes sense without it (“I baked the cake”).
---
6. These are pronouns that do not refer to any specific person or object.
