In the given sentences, the two sentences that contain an intensive pronoun are:
1. The man saw himself in the old picture.
2. The queen herself met the playwright.
Intensive pronouns are pronouns that emphasize a preceding noun or pronoun. In these sentences, "himself" in the first sentence and "herself" in the second sentence are intensive pronouns because they reflect back to and emphasize the subjects, "man" and "queen," respectively.
Here's why the other sentences do not contain intensive pronouns:
- "Trisha poured herself a cup of coffee." - In this sentence, "herself" is a reflexive pronoun as it refers back to the subject "Trisha," but it is not emphasizing or intensifying Trisha's action.
- "I need to get myself out of this mess." - This sentence contains an intensive pronoun where "myself" emphasizes the action of getting out of the mess, emphasizing the subject "I."
- "My dad decorated the house himself." - In this sentence, "himself" is a reflexive pronoun referring back to the subject "dad" and not intensifying or emphasizing the action.
Therefore, sentences 1 and 2 are the ones that contain intensive pronouns.
