Comprehension: The word “archaeology” comes from the Greek word “arkhaios,” which means “ancient.” (1)______ some archaeologists study living cultures, most archaeologists concern (2)______ with the distant past. People have dug (3)______ monuments and collected artefacts for thousands of years. (4)______, these people were not scholars, but looters and grave robbers looking to make money or (5)______ up their personal collections.
Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank number 2.
itself
themselves
himself
them
- The sentence is: "most archaeologists concern (2)______ with the distant past."
- Let’s check the options:
1. Itself – Refers to a singular neutral subject. Not correct here because "archaeologists" is plural.
2. Themselves – Refers perfectly to "archaeologists", which is plural and matches the context.
3. Himself – Refers to a singular male subject, not suitable for a plural noun.
4. Them – Used as an object pronoun, but the sentence needs a reflexive pronoun (as is standard after "concern … with").
- So “themselves” fits best. The sentence would read: “most archaeologists concern themselves with the distant past.”
