Explanation
Given data & quick scan
- A uses ‘‘Myself’’ as a subject pronoun.
- C has ‘‘sunday’’ (lowercase) though proper nouns for days take capitals.
Concept/ApproachReflexive forms (myself, yourself, himself, etc.) are not used as simple subjects. Correct is ‘‘Gopal and I’’. Also, write ‘‘Sunday’’ with a capital letter.
Step-by-step correctionA → ‘‘Gopal and I will take care of …’’C (stylistic fix) → ‘‘… the function on Sunday.’’
Common pitfalls
- Beginning a compound subject with ‘‘Myself’’ or ‘‘Me’’ in formal English.
- Forgetting to capitalize days and months.
