Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct case for the pronoun in this sentence is "me," not "I." "Between you and me" is a prepositional phrase, and "me" is the object of the preposition.

Answer: D
 "Nobody but he" uses the correct case for the pronoun. "He" is the subject of the sentence, and it is being compared to "nobody."

Note: The other answer choices all use incorrect cases for the pronouns. "B" should be "my brother and me," "C" should be "Emma is as old as I am," and "E" should be "Ms. Smith and me."
