Choose the correct pronoun: The award was given to Ali and ____.
Correct answer: B. me
- A. I
- B. me
- C. myself
- D. mine
Explanation
The pronoun is the object of the preposition to, so the object form me is required. Testing it by removing the other name usually settles the choice: given to me sounds right, given to I does not. Myself would only be correct if I were also the subject of the sentence.
