Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun:
My little brother Kabir solves a Rubik’s cube faster than ________ do, though I taught him.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → I
Complete sentence: My little brother Kabir solves a Rubik’s cube faster than I do, though I taught him. Here the verb “do” follows the blank. The full idea is “faster than I do”.
| Option | Form and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) me | the object form, for the person who receives the action, not the subject of a verb | The coach called me to the front. |
| (2) I (answer) | when a verb follows the pronoun after “than”, the pronoun is the subject of that verb, so it takes the subject form (I, he, she, we, they) | Rohan is taller than I am. |
| (3) myself | used when the subject and the object are the same person | I made myself a cup of tea. |
| (4) mine | means belonging to me | The red pencil box is mine. |
