Explanation:

Define intensive pronouns

An intensive pronoun (such as myself, himself, themselves) is used to add emphasis to a noun or another pronoun that has already been mentioned in the sentence.

Evaluate the given options

  • "shows ownership or possession": This describes possessive pronouns (e.g., mine, yours).
  • "acts as the object of the sentence": This describes object pronouns or reflexive pronouns acting as objects.
  • "emphasizes the noun it references": This is the exact definition and function of an intensive pronoun.
  • "looks similar to a subjective pronoun": Intensive pronouns end in "-self" or "-selves", which do not look like subjective pronouns (e.g., I, he, they).

  • looks similar to a subjective pronoun.
