Select the correct option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
This secret will remain between you and I.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., between you and me.
Error Concept: Incorrect pronoun case
What is wrong: “I” is used instead of “me” after the preposition “between.”
Grammatical Concept: After prepositions like “between,” objective case pronouns (me, him, her, us, them) are used, not subject case (I, he, she).
Incorrectness of the concept in context: “I” is a subject pronoun, but here it is used incorrectly after the preposition “between.”
Correction: Use the objective pronoun “me.”
Correct phrase: between you and me
Final Sentence: This secret will remain between you and me.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
