The taxi driver who finally picked up my boss and I wouldn't take credit cards.
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. whom finally picked up my boss and I
- C. who finally picked up my boss and me ✓
- D. which finally picked up my boss and myself
Explanation: The changes in the answers identify pronouns as the topic of the sentence. There are two pronouns in the underlined portion, so consider both and follow your two steps. Taxi driver is a person, and which is used only for things. Myself is correct only for emphasis (I myself don't know the answer) or when the subject and object are the same (I corrected myself). Cross off (D). Check the case for who and I, and don't worry—it's perfectly okay to check I first since everyone is scared of "who" versus "whom" (see "Who Versus Whom" below). For case, cross off everything except the pronoun and the verb. Picked up I is incorrect because I is a subject pronoun, so eliminate (A) and (B). The correct choice is (C), and you didn't even have to worry about "who" and "whom." Now go learn about them so you don't have to depend on luck the next time.
💡 Study Tips
🎯 Review your mistakes, not just your score
After a practice test, spend more time analyzing the questions you got wrong than celebrating the ones you got right. Understanding your error patterns reveals exactly what to study next.
📖 Build a study schedule and stick to it
Consistent daily study sessions of 30-60 minutes are more effective than occasional 4-hour marathons. Block specific times on your calendar and treat them like appointments you can't cancel.
