Which word should be used in the following sentence? When a person finds ________ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The corrected question maintains a gender-neutral form when referring to an individual, making 'themselves' the appropriate choice. In this context, 'themselves' is used as a reflexive pronoun to match the singular 'person' without specifying gender. It is a common and accepted practice to use 'themselves' for gender neutrality. Therefore, option A is the correct choice for this question.
