Reflexive pronoun in the sentence:
- The reflexive pronoun in the sentence "We injured ourselves in a cricket match, we tried to win but could not" is "ourselves".
Explanation:
- Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. They end in "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural).
- In the given sentence, the subject is "we" and the object is "ourselves", which refers back to the subject "we".
- The pronoun "ourselves" is a reflexive pronoun because it reflects the action of injuring back onto the subject "we".
- The other pronouns in the sentence are not reflexive pronouns:
- "we" is a personal pronoun used as the subject of the sentence.
- "but" is a coordinating conjunction that joins two clauses.
- "to" is a preposition in this sentence.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option D: ourselves.

EduRev GMAT answered
Subject Pronoun in Sentence "Make sure you are picking up every thing. You must be careful."
The subject pronoun in the given sentence is "you".
Explanation:
To identify the subject pronoun in a sentence, we need to look for the noun or pronoun that is performing the action or being described by the verb. In this case, the subject pronoun is used as the doer of the action.
- The sentence "Make sure you are picking up every thing. You must be careful." is composed of two statements.
- The subject pronoun is used in the second statement "You must be careful."
- The pronoun "you" is the subject of the sentence as it is the one being instructed to be careful.
- The pronoun "you" is the second person singular pronoun, used to refer to the person or people being spoken to.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: you.
