Question

Choose the best option to complete the sentence below:
The boss questioned ___ for coming late.

• A. I
• B. me
• C. A or B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B me

The correct answer is Option B. The pronoun following the verb, 'questioned' will be the direct object of the verb. Such pronouns should take the objective case. Option A, 'I' is a subjective pronoun and hence is incorrect in the above sentence. We use the objective case of a pronoun when the pronoun is a direct or indirect object of a verb or preposition. A Pronoun is a word or phrase used in place of a noun. 'Me' is an objective case pronoun which is affected by the action of the subject. Other objective pronouns are you, him, her, it, us, and them. Therefore, objective case pronouns should be used when the pronoun is a direct or indirect object of a verb or preposition. The sentence should read: The boss questioned me for coming late.
