Standard English Conventions practice question

The award for the best short film was shared between the two directors, Lucía and ____

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

  1. A. me.Correct
  2. B. I.
  3. C. myself.
  4. D. mine.

Answer: A. me.

'Between' takes object pronouns: 'between Lucía and me'.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. I.
'I' is a subject pronoun.
C. myself.
'Myself' is reflexive and needs an 'I' earlier in the sentence to refer to.
D. mine.
'Mine' is possessive and makes no sense here.
