answer explanation: 

<p>Mr. Hernandez will work on the final draft, so you don't have to do all the editing by yourself.</p>
<p>The correct answer is <strong>(C) yourself</strong>.</p>
<p>In this sentence, the phrase "by ______" indicates that someone will do the editing.&nbsp;</p><p>(B) "you" is a pronoun. It is not correct because it is the subject of the sentence and does not fit grammatically in the phrase "by you."&nbsp;</p><p>(A) "yours" is a possessive pronoun and does not make sense in this context.&nbsp;</p><p>(D) "your" is also a possessive pronoun, and it is not appropriate to use it in this sentence. The correct pronoun to use in this context is the reflexive pronoun "yourself" in option (C), which refers back to the subject "you" and correctly indicates that you will not have to do the editing.</p>
