Read the sentence. Emilia didn’t realize the spy had gained the access codes until the security breach happened. Which revision uses an intensive pronoun correctly?

An intensive pronoun adds emphasis to a noun or pronoun without changing the sentence’s basic meaning. In “Emilia herself didn’t realize,” the word “herself” emphasizes Emilia, while the sentence still says she didn’t realize the spy had gained the codes. In choice B, “herself” suggests Emilia gained the access codes, changing the meaning.
