When is it appropriate to use first person pronouns in an essay?

  1. When emphasizing the importance of the ideas

  2. When providing personal opinions

  3. When narrating a story

  4. Never

The correct answer is: When providing personal opinions

It is appropriate to use first person pronouns in an essay when providing personal opinions. First person pronouns such as "I", "me", and "my" can add a personal touch and help the reader connect with the writer's perspective. However, it is important to use them in moderation and only when necessary, as overusing them can make the essay sound too subjective. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because using first person pronouns for emphasizing ideas, narrating a story, or in general is not appropriate for formal essays. It is best to stick to a more objective and formal tone in academic writing.
