Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

The worker will have work to do as much as I have had themselves.

2

Clue

A possessive pronoun describes the possession or belonging of something or someone.

3

Hint

In the given sentence, 'mine' refers to who something belongs to.

4

Choice.A

The worker will have work to do as much as I have had themselves.

The sentence is incorrect due to the reflexive pronoun "themselves," which is inappropriate in this context. The sentence can be corrected by replacing "themselves" with "mine," which is the possessive form of the subject "I."

No change

5

Choice.B

The worker will have work to do as much as I have had our.

The sentence is grammatically incorrect. The issue lies in using "our" without a noun following it. "Our" is a possessive pronoun requiring a subsequent noun to show possession. For instance, " our projects."

our

6

Choice.C

The worker will have work to do as much as I have had ourselves.

The sentence "The worker will have work to do as much as I have had ourselves" is incorrect due to using the reflexive pronoun "ourselves" in an improper context. A reflexive pronoun is used when the subject and the object of the verb are the same, but in this case, "ourselves" is used in a comparison that doesn’t match the reflexive structure.

ourselves

7

Choice.D

The worker will have work to do as much as I have had mine.

The sentence "The worker will have work to do as much as I have had mine" is grammatically correct. The subject "I" possesses the action in the predicate "have had mine," where "mine" correctly refers to the speaker’s own work. The sentence effectively compares the worker’s future workload to the speaker’s past workload, conveying the idea that they will have an equivalent amount of work.

mine
