Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Please pass _________ the salt.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. me.
Context: Here, the missing word should be a pronoun that receives the action of the verb “pass.”
Meaning of the words:
-
I: subject pronoun (used to do an action)
-
Me: object pronoun (used to receive an action)
-
My: possessive adjective (used before nouns, e.g., my book)
-
Mine: possessive pronoun (used alone, e.g., That pen is mine)
Correct word: Me
Reason: In this sentence, “me” is the object of the verb “pass.” The speaker is asking for the salt to be passed to them, which requires the object pronoun.
Final Sentence: Please pass me the salt.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
