My favorite professors, she and Dr. Arif, gave interesting tips for our research project.
Correct answer: A. she and Dr. Arif
- A. she and Dr. Arif
- B. interesting
- C. tips
- D. our
Explanation
Replace "She and Dr. Arif" with "Dr. Arif and she".When mentioning multiple people, it is customary to list names in a certain order, usually based on social etiquette or hierarchy. In English, it is more conventional to place the other person's name before the pronoun. Therefore, replacing "She and Dr. Arif" with "Dr. Arif and she" corrects the word order and makes the sentence grammatically more appropriate.
