Correct Answer: to myself


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The error lies in the use of myself instead of the correct pronoun me. The reflexive pronoun myself is used when the subject and the object of the verb are the same, but in this case, the subject is they, and the correct object pronoun is me.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Although many people complain about her frank opinions, they seem perfectly alright to me.
