Choose the correct option to replace the underlined part of the sentence:
Good morning, everyone. Myself Kavya Iyer and I will be your guide on today’s heritage walk through the old city of Jaipur.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → I am Kavya Iyer
Introducing yourself:
- To introduce yourself, use “I am ...” or “My name is ...”.
- The given sentence says “Myself Kavya Iyer”. This is wrong: it has no verb, and “myself” cannot be the subject of a sentence.
- Complete sentence: Good morning, everyone. I am Kavya Iyer and I will be your guide on today’s heritage walk through the old city of Jaipur.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Myself is Kavya Iyer — Incorrect. “Myself” can never be the subject of a verb. Only “I” can.
Option 2: This is myself Kavya Iyer — Incorrect. “Myself” is used only when “I” is already the subject of the same sentence. Here there is no “I” before it.
Option 4: Myself I am Kavya Iyer — Incorrect. “Myself” at the start is extra. “I am” alone is enough.
