Question:

In the given statement 'I am a musician' ____________

Options:

Self is described as an object

Self is described as a subject

Self is described as both object and subject

Self gets observed as an object

Correct Answer:

Self is described as a subject

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Self is described as a subject

In the statement "I am a musician," the individual is describing themselves as someone who does something — i.e., a person who engages in the act of making music. This is an example of the self being understood as a subject (actor/doer).

On the contrary if one says that - 'I am one who easily gets hurt', the self is described as an ‘object’ (which gets affected).
