Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Father is calling Ali and me. He wants ____ .

• A. we
• B. us
• C. them
• D. him

Answer 1

The correct option is B us

A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun. This particular sentence, is in the first person so the blank would contain a pronoun in the first person and in group.

"We" is used while referring to a group in the first person. But it is a subject pronoun. In this sentence we require an object pronoun. This is the wrong option.

"Us" is also a pronoun used in the first person when in group, but it's not a subject pronoun. Us in an object pronoun that can be used as the object of a preposition or the object of a verb. It is the correct option

"Them" is a possessive pronoun used while referring to a group in third person

"Him" is used while referring to a particular person in third person

Option B is correct.
