Choose the option that correctly completes the sentence: 'The statistical analysis was conducted by Dr. Salman and _______.'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. me
- Step 1: The pronoun functions as the compound object of the preposition 'by'.
- Step 2: Prepositions govern objective case pronouns; therefore, the objective pronoun 'me' is grammatically correct ('by me').
Answer
me.
Why not the others: 'I' is a subjective case pronoun used only as a grammatical subject; 'myself' is a reflexive or intensive pronoun that cannot serve as a simple prepositional object without a preceding subject referent; 'mine' is a possessive pronoun.
