Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
My sister called me last week. I haven't spoken _______ since.

• A. him
• B. she
• C. her
• D. to her

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

to her

Option D: 'To' is a preposition that connects the noun/pronoun to the rest of the sentence. It refers to a person 'her', and indicates that the person is receiving an action 'spoken'. Hence the option 'to her' is correct.

Option A: 'Him' is masculine and does not refer to 'sister'. (The pronoun refers to someone who's been mentioned before.) Hence this option isn't appropriate.

Option B: 'She' is a subject pronoun and performs an action. The pronoun here receives an action 'spoken to'. Hence option B is incorrect.

Option C: 'Her' on its own, without the preposition 'to', does not form a complete meaningful sentence. Hence C is incorrect.
