Question

Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun from the options given.
We are planning to go for a picnic today. Would you like to join __________?

• A. Her
• B. Them
• C. Us
• D. Me

Answer 1

The correct option is C Us

In order to fill in the blank with the correct form of the pronoun, let's understand what objective case (accusative case) is. An accusative case is an objective case. These pronouns are objects in a sentence. For example, 'He said that he misses them.' Here, 'them' is the object and hence it is an accusative case of a pronoun.

NOTE: As the sentence is in the first-person form, the object of the sentence will also be the first-person plural pronoun.

Option A - 'Her' is a third-person singular pronoun. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Them' is a third-person plural pronoun. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Me' is a first-person singular pronoun, whereas we need a first-person plural pronoun. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'Us' is a first-person plural pronoun, which can be used as the accusative case of the pronoun here. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

'We are planning to go for a picnic today. Would you like to join us?'
