Complete the sentence with the correct pronoun.

A) She / himself
B) He / herself
C) He / himself

The correct pronoun to complete the sentence is "himself". The full sentence should read, "Sarah's brother is so vain. He likes to talk about himself all the time." This is because the subject is male and singular.

To complete the sentence correctly, we need to choose the appropriate pronoun that matches the subject 'Sarah's brother.'

Identify the correct pronoun for the subject: The subject of the sentence is 'Sarah's brother.' 'Brother' is a male noun, so the correct subject pronoun is 'he.'

Select the appropriate reflexive pronoun: Because the sentence continues with '...likes to talk about ______ all the time,' we need a reflexive pronoun that matches 'he.' Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of the verb are the same person. For 'he,' the correct reflexive pronoun is 'himself.'

Combine into the complete sentence: Based on these rules, the sentence becomes: 'Sarah's brother is so vain. He likes to talk about himself all the time.'


Therefore, the correct answer is option C) He / himself.
