Sentence Structure (Overall)

·       Compound Subject: You and I

Part-wise Analysis

Part (A): “You and me”

Grammatical rule violated

·       When pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence, they must be in the subjective case.

·       Subjective pronouns: I, you, he, she, we, they

·       Objective pronouns: me, him, her, us, them

Why incorrect

·       “Me” is an objective pronoun, but here it is part of the subject.

·       Therefore, it must be replaced with “I”.

Correct form

·       You and I

Example

·       Incorrect: Me and her are going to the market.

·       Correct: She and I are going to the market.

Part (B): “together will definitely”

Grammatical rule

·       Adverbs like together can be placed at the beginning or before the verb phrase.

·       Modal verb + adverb order (will definitely) is correct.

Status

·       Grammatically correct.

Example

·       They together will solve the problem.

Part (C): “complete this task”

Grammatical rule

·       Modal verb “will” must be followed by the base form of the verb.

·       “Complete” is correctly used in base form.

Status

·       Grammatically correct.

Example

·       She will complete the assignment today.

Part (D): “before tomorrow evening”

Grammatical rule

·       Time expressions using before + time phrase are correct.

·       No preposition or tense error.

Status

·       Grammatically correct.

Example

·       We must finish the work before Monday morning.

Corrected Sentence

You and I together will definitely complete this task before tomorrow evening.

Final Conclusion

·       The error lies in Part (A) due to incorrect pronoun case.

·       “Me” must be replaced with “I” because it is part of the subject.

Final Answer: A

Exam Tip (Very Important)

To check pronouns in compound subjects:

·       Remove the other noun and read the sentence.

o   You and me will complete this task → Me will complete this task

o   You and I will complete this task → I will complete this task
