Answer: The statement is true: in the sentence 'I gave Ellen and Jane the card", the word "Jane" can be replaced with the objective pronoun "her".

Explanation: An object pronoun is a pronoun generally used to replace a noun or noun phrase that is functioning as direct object or indirect object in a sentence. Moreover, an object pronoun can also be used to replace a noun or noun phrase that is acting as object of the preposition. Two examples of object pronouns are "him" and "her". In the case of the sentence "I gave Ellen and Jane the card", the noun "Jane" can be replaced with the object pronoun "her" because "Jane" makes reference to a woman and "her" is a feminine form, but mainly because "Jane" is part of the direct object.
