Question

The argument between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued until the early morning.

• A. between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued
• B. between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued
• C. between Paarin and I about the dent in his car continued
• D. about the dent in his car continued for Paarin and I
• E. about the dent in his car continued

Hint:

Remember that prepositions such as "between" require the objective case (me, him, her, etc.) and not the subjective case (I, he, she).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the sentence.
The sentence involves a prepositional phrase "between" that requires the objective case "me" rather than the subjective case "I."

Step 2: Analysis of options.
- (A) between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued: Correct. The phrase "between me" uses the objective case correctly.
- (B) between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued: Same as (A), correct.
- (C) between Paarin and I about the dent in his car continued: Incorrect. "I" is incorrect after the preposition "between," which should be followed by the objective case.
- (D) about the dent in his car continued for Paarin and I: Incorrect. This changes the sentence structure unnecessarily and incorrectly uses "I" instead of "me."
- (E) about the dent in his car continued: Incorrect. This is incomplete as it leaves out the necessary introductory prepositional phrase.

Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{(A) \, \text{between Paarin and me about the dent in his car continued.}} \]
