Everyone should be alert to defend (oneself- himself- ourselves- itself

Oneself is only used when the subject pronoun is ONE

Originally, we can say: Everyone should be alert to defend himself/herself

-iOld Ali has got ( him – himself ) married at last!

Old Ali has got (him – himself) married at last!

Both choices are wrong. I think it is a wrong sentence. I have never come across a structure like this that.

HIM would be vague (is it another person rather than Ali or is it Ali himself) so it is not acceptable + it is not a common structure.

marry is not used with reflexive pronouns. Other verbs that belong to the same category: avoid, embrace, face, help, kiss, meet, etc. These verbs require two or more people doing the action.

So, Old Ali has got (……… / him / himself) married at last.

Notice that I`ve corrected it by adding IT at the end of the sentence.

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English defines conquer as follows:
(v.) to gain control over something that is difficult, using a lot of effort
These words were part of the sentence

I gave the student the simple meaning get over something

Which one do you think is right?

Best Regards

I think we can solve problems

but not

get control over them

A student posted the sentence and the question, most probably from a teacher`s notes or from a revision book. You know that they are full of countless mistakes. That`s why I don`t use them. My voluntary work is to give correct answers and if I can`t I give my opinion.

Best regards

Something is missing in this sentence
(what would you do????)
2-if a tree is deciduous it .................all its leaves in the autumn (lose-loses-would lose-will lose)
3-if the (?) .....a computer he can borrow mine (will need-needs-needed-need)
4-if we.....water in hot days we get dehydrated (drink-drank-didnt drink-do not drink)
5-if oxygen......with hydrogen they form water(combine-combines)
find the mistake:-
1-if anyone is hungry he or she eats.
2-mirco organisms die if milk is boiled.

All the sentences are in the Zero conditional, except the first one, in the 2nd conditional

‎Mr.shalaby,--------two farms near Ismailia , spends fortunes on chemicals
(who's-that this -whose-who has)
?---------,things you grow yourself always taste better Don`t they
(isn't it -aren't they- don't you - do you)
we-------this young giraffe for two hours before we capture it
(hunted -caught- arrested- rammed)
Africa is the world's second ------continent.
(larger-large-largest-as large)
?-----------why can't you two act like civilized
(adults -babies-thieves-criminals)
there wasn't a single-------- wall in the building there were all diagonal.
(street- curved-straight- slight)
The meaning of the sentence is ambiguous. Diagonal is not a vocabulary item we have to study. The whole meaning is based on it. We cannot say curved is the opposite of diagonal, but it is different from it.
houses are very hot in summer and cold in winter-----------
(muddy-wooden- concrete-prefabricated)
We don`t say: concrete buildings or concrete houses
We can say: concrete blocks / concrete walls / a house or a building made of concrete / a slab of concrete/ a concrete floor
Prefabricated is not a vocabulary item as well.
teaching methods sometimes only succeed in putting students off learning----------
( modern-traditional-technological-efficient)
he told ------ to her face that she was wrong
(her-herself-him -himself )
they live on the thirteenth floor of a very modern -------near the river.
(home -level -block -skyscraper)
block gives the meaning of a building. It is defined as: a tall building that contains flats or offices; buildings that form part of a school, hospital, etc. which are used for a particular purpose:
13 floors doesn`t make it a skyscraper. Being modern doesn`t make it a skyscraper, either.
To be precise, it should have been: a block of flats. Or they live on the 60th floor.
-----------.he was pleased with
(his -he - himself - him )
the air is very --------,so we have to keep the doors and windows closed.
(dusty -hot -cold - polluted)

[Mr Mostafa Goda]

there wasn't a single-------- wall in the building there were all diagonal.
(street- curved-straight- slight

i think the answer is straight

[Essam ABDOU]

I actually still can`t get the meaning of the sentence and I`m still imagining how the walls are all diagonal (and not straight at the same time)?????
