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 comparisons.
- Context clues: The comparison is "than [I work]" with an implied verb.
- Meaning: The pronoun is the subject of the implied clause.
- Verify: "works more efficiently than I [work]" uses subjective case.
💡 Strategy: Complete the comparison mentally to determine pronoun case.
Choice A is incorrect because "me" is objective, but we need a subject. Choice C is incorrect because "myself" is reflexive and inappropriate. Choice D is incorrect because "mine" is possessive.
