Question
In this question, fill the gap with the most appropriate option from the list provided.
The old man hired Mr. Thomas and _______
Options
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
In the sentence given above, the old man hired someone, and the most likely option to fill in the blank would be an object pronoun. Object pronouns are used as the object of the verb, and "me" is an object pronoun.
Therefore, the correct option to fill in the blank is "me."
Option A, "I," is a subjective pronoun used as the subject of the sentence. It does not fit the context of the sentence. Option B, "we," is also a subjective pronoun and does not fit in the sentence because one person was hired, not a group of people. Option D, "mine," is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership. It does not make sense in the given sentence. Therefore, option C, "me," is the correct option.

The question is asking you to choose the most appropriate option to fill in the gap in the sentence. The sentence is "The old man hired Mr. Thomas and _______". You need to choose the correct word to fill in the blank space. The options are "I", "we", "me" (which is the correct option), and "mine".
In the sentence, the old man hired someone named Mr. Thomas and another person who is not named. To complete the sentence, you need to choose the correct word to refer to the unnamed person. The correct word in this case is "me".
"I" and "we" are not correct because they refer to the speaker, who is not mentioned in the sentence. "Mine" is also not correct because it is a possessive pronoun and does not make sense in this context.
It is important to choose the correct pronoun to use in sentences based on the context of the sentence. Pronouns are words used to replace nouns in a sentence. In this case, "me" is used because it refers to the person hired by the old man along with Mr. Thomas.
Mr.Thomas is used in an objective form, so me which is also an objective pronoun follows it. If it were used in a subjective form, it would be Mr Thomas and i
"me" is the correct answer since it is in an objective case i.e receiver of action in the context
YOU NEED TWO SUBJECT OR TWO OBJECT TO MAKE A CORRECT COMPEARISM .WHEN YOU USE A SUBJECT AND AN OBJECT THEN YOUR COMPEARISM BECOMES WRONG. MR THOMAS HERE IS AN OB JECT AND ME IS ALSO AN OBJECT SO THERE FORE THE CORRECT OPTION IS C
The correct answer should be A(I)
And I not me
The answer is I not me
Me may sound absurd but it's actually correct.
why, pls can u kindly explain
Praise, you just said it all
The old man was mentioned before the first person pronoun, so what follow it is "me"... If the first person pronoun came first then it will be "I"
A) I
The correct answer is C because Subject +me = us, and subject+I =we. It can also be written as, "The old man hired *us* "
The sentence can be interpreted as. The old man hired "us" which is a second person pronoun and the corresponding singular second person pronoun is 'me'
The correct answer to be A; Mr. Thomas and I.
The answer should be (I)
I think its I... Not me
It is "me" because it is in the objective form not as the subject
It should be Mr Thomas and I
Vivian, check out this article at https://blog.publoft.com/john-and-i-or-me-rules-made-simple/. The major takeaway from the article is that "me" is the object form of the first person pronoun. An object is acted upon by the main verb in the clause or is linked to the subject and main verb with a preposition. There can be more than one object in a phrase, playing different roles. Thus, we say things like "The dog ate me," "He looked at me" or "Sally took a plane to Tokyo and skyped me when she got there." Since "Mr. Thomas and I" occurs as the object in the sentence, we use the object form of the pronoun, "me". A hack is to just consider the sentence without "Mr. Thomas".
I AGREE IT SHOULD BE I
You can't say the old man hired i, can you?
So its the old man hired me.
In a simpler form
The correct answer is I not me
The answer should be "me" and not "I" because the pronoun is in subjective casee. ....I think
Sorry , Objective not subjective
