Question

Why are the italicized pronouns used correctly in the sentence below? Select all that apply.

If you ask Amelia and her to help plan the picnic, it's sure to be an enjoyable time for you and me.

Her is the predicate noun of ask.
Her is the direct object of the action verb ask.
Me is the object of the preposition for.
Amelia is the antecedent for me.

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

- Her is the direct object of the action verb ask.

- Me is the object of the preposition for.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go through all of the options:

1. this can't be correct because the word her is a pronoun, and not a noun

2. this is correct because a direct object gives the answer to the question who(m)? Here, the question would be - Whom did you ask? and the answer would be Amelia and her.

3. this is correct because there is a preposition for in this sentence and it demands an object to follow it; here, that object are the pronouns you and me

4. this can't be correct because Amelia and me aren't the same person so Amelia can't be the antecedent for me
