Question:

The following sentence is divided into three parts. Identify the part containing the error. "The manager praised John / and myself / for the achievement."

1.
The manager praised John
2.
and myself
3.
for the achievement
4.
No error

Correct Answer: and myself

"Myself" is a reflexive pronoun and cannot stand alone as an object; the object of "praised" must be the plain objective pronoun "me": "praised John and me". The trap is (c), which looks like a dangling fragment to hasty readers, but "for the achievement" is a perfectly grammatical adverbial phrase.
