Select the sentence with correct pronoun case.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The dean granted fellowships to her and the postdoctoral fellows.
- Step 1: The pronoun functions as the object of the preposition 'to'. Step 2. The objective case pronoun is 'her' (not the nominative 'she'). Answer: The dean granted fellowships to her and the postdoctoral fellows. Why not the others: 'She' and 'they' are subject pronouns; 'herself' is a reflexive pronoun requiring an antecedent in the subject position.
