Choose the correct pronoun: Between you and ____, the plan will not work.
Correct answer: B. me
- A. I
- B. me
- C. myself
- D. mine
Explanation
Between is a preposition, so the pronoun following it must be in the object form, giving between you and me. Saying between you and I is a hypercorrection made by speakers avoiding the you and me error in subject position. Myself is reflexive and needs an earlier I in the same clause.
