What is the correct pronoun for the objective case in the phrase "between you and ____"?

  1. I

  2. Me

  3. He

  4. She

The correct answer is: Me

The objective case is used for pronouns when they serve as the object of a verb or preposition. In the phrase "between you and ____," the blank needs to be filled with a pronoun that follows the preposition "between." In this case, the correct option is "me" because it is the appropriate pronoun in the objective case to complete the phrase. When using "between," both pronouns should align in case; "you" is in the subjective case while "me" is in the objective case, making it grammatically correct. Using "I," "he," or "she" in this context would be incorrect because these pronouns are in the subjective case, which is not suitable following a preposition. Thus, "me" is the only option that properly completes the phrase according to standard English grammar rules.
