Worked practice questions

Which sentence correctly handles comparison?

  1. He earns more than her.
  2. He earns more than she.
  3. He earns more than herself.
  4. He earns more than whom.
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. He earns more than she.

In this construction, the full sense is "He earns more than she earns," so the pronoun functions as the subject of the understood verb. **Therefore, the subjective form "she" is correct, not "her."**

Choose the correct completion: "One should take care of ___ house."

  1. his
  2. one's
  3. their
  4. our
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. one's

When the indefinite pronoun "one" is used, it should be followed consistently by its own possessive form, "one's." Mixing it with a personal pronoun like "his" is incorrect in this usage.

In the sentence "Between you and ___, the matter could have been settled," which pronoun correctly fills the blank?

  1. I
  2. he
  3. me
  4. she
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. me

After the preposition "between," an object pronoun is required. **So the correct form is "me," not "I."**
