Find the part with the grammatical error: 'Between you and I (A) / the newly appointed manager (B) / lacks the necessary expertise (C) / to resolve this crisis. (D)'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Between you and I
- Step 1: 'Between' is a preposition.
- Step 2: Pronouns following a preposition function as objects of the preposition and must be in the objective case.
- Step 3: Therefore, the subjective pronoun 'I' is ungrammatical and must be replaced by the objective pronoun 'me' ('Between you and me').
Answer
Between you and I.
Why not the others: The subject noun phrase 'the newly appointed manager', verb phrase 'lacks the necessary expertise', and infinitive 'to resolve this crisis' are correct.
