Answer 2

The queen greeted her guest herself. -Reflexive pronoun

Explanation:

• Reflexive and intensive pronouns are pronouns like -myself, herself, itself, themselves, ourselves, himself and yourself.
• But there is a difference in their usage.
• Reflexive pronouns are used when the words like 'myself', 'himself', etc., are used like an object in the sentence. They may act as indirect object in the sentences. Here the importance is not laid on the person. Importance is given to the action.
• For example: They made the dish themselves. (Reflexive pronoun)
• Intensive pronouns are used when more stress or importance is given to the person than the action.
• For example: They themselves made the dish. (Intensive pronoun)
• In the given sentence the queen greeting the guest is given importance. That is why the pronoun (herself) comes at the end.
• Therefore the given sentence: The queen greeted her guest herself. -It has the reflexive pronoun (herself).
