Which pronouns are allowed to follow the preposition "between"?

  1. We, her, he

  2. Me, her, him

  3. Me, her, them

  4. She, them, they

The correct answer is: Me, her, them

The correct answer focuses on the use of objective case pronouns after prepositions. "Between" is a preposition that requires its objects to be in the objective case. In this scenario, "me," "her," and "them" are all objective case pronouns. Using these pronouns correctly follows standard grammar rules. For example, in the phrase "between me and her," both pronouns are the objects of the preposition "between," appropriately utilizing the objective case. In contrast, the other options include nominative pronouns, such as "we" and "he," which are not grammatically correct when following a preposition. Therefore, option C stands out as the only choice that adheres to the rules of English grammar regarding the placement of pronouns after prepositions.
