Question 20

'Each other' vs. 'Themselves': Identify the correct option (A or B):


Disa made a point of checking her appearance before leaving for work; her partner did, too. They look at each other in the mirror.


Disa made a point of checking her appearance before leaving for work; her partner did, too. They look at themselves in the mirror.

1 answer

The correct option is A: "They look at each other in the mirror."

This is because "each other" implies a mutual action between Disa and her partner, meaning they are looking at one another. On the other hand, "themselves" would imply that they are looking at their own reflections independently, which does not fit the context as well.
