Explanation

Given data & quick scan

  • A uses ‘‘Myself’’ as a subject pronoun.
  • C has ‘‘sunday’’ (lowercase) though proper nouns for days take capitals.

Common pitfalls

  • Beginning a compound subject with ‘‘Myself’’ or ‘‘Me’’ in formal English.
  • Forgetting to capitalize days and months.
