Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

One is often pleased with himself.

A) with one’s self B) with themselves
C) with oneself D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) with oneself

Explanation:

The possessive form of pronoun ‘one’ is ‘oneself’. So the phrase ‘with himself’ needs to be replaced with ‘with oneself’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘One is often pleased with oneself’.
