Correct Answer: their project himself


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

  • The error lies in the incorrect usage of the pronoun himself .
  • Here, in the given sentence, himself is used to replace the noun children which is a plural noun, and therefore it will require a plural pronoun.
    Thus, themselves will be used in place of himself .

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: You should tell these children to complete their project themselves .
