Hi, everyone!
I've come acroos a question while I was preparing for a test.
(A) A : Do you want me to put back this book on the shelf?
(B) B : No. Just leave it on this table.
(C) A : Are you sure? I can do it for you.
(D)B : It's OK. I can do it myself.
As you see, I chose the (d) marked bold. Frankly I didn't think (D) is wrong, but I couldn't find out any possible wrong spot in the other lines. So I just think to myself it should have included 'by' so it should be by myself, not myself. However, much to my surprise, the answer sheet pointed at (A), which is supposed to contain a wrong part in itself. To me the setence (A) looks perfect. Is there an error in it? Is it related to the word order of 'back' in the phrase 'put this book back' vs 'put back this book'? Could you help me, please?
Many thanks in advance.
