Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
I, you and she/ have been working happily/ in the same company and in the same branch/ for the last nine years.

A.

for the last nine years

B.

have been working happily

C.

I, you and she

D.

in the same company and in the same branch

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Explanation: The correct order of pronouns in a sentence depends on the context. In affirmative/declarative sentences, the standard and polite order is:
2nd person (you), 3rd person (he/she/they), and 1st person (I) → i.e., “ You, she and I.”
The incorrect order "I, you and she" is grammatically and conventionally inappropriate in this case.
Grammatical rule used:
· In declarative sentences, pronouns are ordered as: 2nd + 3rd + 1st person.
· In negative or apologetic contexts, the order is usually: 1st + 2nd + 3rd person (e.g., “I, you and he were responsible.”)
Example:
Correct: You, she and I have completed the project successfully.
Incorrect: I, you and she have completed the project successfully.
