readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
I
B
me
C
myself
D
mine
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. This question tests pronoun case after prepositions.
- Context clues: The pronoun follows the preposition "to."
- Meaning: Prepositions take objective case pronouns.
- Verify: "The award was given to... me" correctly uses objective case.
💡 Strategy: Pronouns after prepositions are always in objective case (me, him, her, us, them).
Choice A is incorrect because "I" is subjective case. Choice C is incorrect because "myself" is reflexive and inappropriate here. Choice D is incorrect because "mine" is possessive.
