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 as object of a verb.
- Context clues: The pronoun is the direct object of "asked."
- Meaning: Direct objects take objective case pronouns.
- Verify: "The manager asked the team leader and me" uses objective case correctly.
💡 Strategy: Use objective case (me, him, her) for direct objects and objects of prepositions.
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.
