    Question

    Select the alternative that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence.
    I and my brother go to college by bus.

    A.

    My brother and I

    B.

    No improvement

    C.

    My brother and me

    D.

    Me and my brother

    Correct option is A


    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) My brother and I.
    Explanation:
    · According to pronoun usage rules, when two people are mentioned as subjects, the other person is mentioned first, followed by "I", not "me."
    · The correct subject form of the pronoun is "I", not "me".
    · So, "My brother and I" is grammatically correct.
    Grammatical rule used:
    Subject pronouns (I, we, he, she, they) should be used when the pronoun acts as the subject of a sentence. In compound subjects, the speaker comes last.
    Example:
    Incorrect: I and Rahul are going.
    Rahul and I are going.
