'Effected' is the past tense of 'effect,' but in this context, the correct form is 'affected' as it is used to describe the emotional impact of her kind words on him.

Question 4 of 5
The child cried, 'I want to do it--------------------.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this context, the reflexive pronoun 'myself' is the correct choice. 'Myself' is used to emphasize the subject 'I' in the sentence, indicating that the child wants to perform the action independently. 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun, 'Me' is an object pronoun, and 'Me self' is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, 'Myself' best fits the sentence structure and meaning.
Question 5 of 5
When a person finds ---------------------in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Oneself.' When referring to a singular person in a generic sense, 'oneself' is the appropriate pronoun to use. In the context of the sentence, it conveys the idea that taking deep breaths can be beneficial for an individual facing stress. Using 'yourself' (B) would imply a specific person, 'themselves' (C) is plural and does not match the singular 'person,' and 'itself' (D) does not correctly refer to a person.
