Question

reading passage
for centuries, it has been a constant question of understanding. it is a brave thing to question, and an honest thing to doubt. let us, then, not be ashamed to admit what we do not know. to profess knowledge where we have none is not only foolish, but deceitful, especially when others rely 3 on us to admit ourself when we are wrong. better to be humbly uncertain than confidently wrong, even if others mistake that for weakness and 4 think your convictions lack the strength that define themself. i have found that the more i examine the world, the more it evades my grasp, and the more i value modesty in judgment over the pride of unearned certainty.
we should measure our understanding not by how loudly we speak, but by how attentively we listen. those who shout most about truth are often those who have looked least for it. a quiet mind, patient in its inquiry, is more likely to discover meaning than one distracted by

Brief Explanations

The subject of the sentence is "others" relying on "us". The correct pronoun - case for the object of the preposition "on" is "us", and the reflexive pronoun that agrees with "us" is "ourselves". "Ourself" is incorrect as the plural of "self" when referring to "us" is "ourselves". Also, the subject - object relationship is between "others" and "us", not "them" and "ourselves" or other incorrect combinations.

Answer:

B. on us to admit ourselves when we are wrong
