readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
me
B
I
C
myself
D
mine
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. This question tests pronoun case in elliptical comparisons.
- Context clues: The comparison is "than [I have experience]" with words implied.
- Meaning: The pronoun is the subject of the implied verb.
- Verify: "more experience... than I [have]" uses subjective case correctly.
💡 Strategy: In comparisons with "than," mentally complete the clause to determine case.
Choice A is incorrect because "me" is objective, but we need a subject. Choice C is incorrect because "myself" is reflexive and inappropriate here. Choice D is incorrect because "mine" is possessive and changes the meaning.
