Question

The principal gave Patti as large a prize as [he did]

Which pronoun correctly completes the elliptical clause?
mine
me
I

Answer 1

Me

Step-by-step explanation:

Me fits better then 'I'. If you read it, 'The principle gave Patti as large a prize as [he did] I.' that doesn't make any sense. However if you rewrite it with 'me' then it makes more sense, 'The principle gave Patti as large a prize as [he did] me.' it just sounds better and it comes out more fluent.

Answer 2

I believe it’s mine
