Select the most appropriate option to replace the underlined part of the sentence. If no improvement is needed, choose ‘No improvement’.
Since Arjun is free this evening, let him and me decorate the stage for the annual day.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → No improvement
Pronouns after “let”:
- After “let”, a pronoun takes the object form: me, him, her, us, them.
- Here both pronouns come after “let”. So him and me is correct, even with “and” between them.
- Check each one alone. We say “let him decorate” and “let me decorate”, never “let he” or “let I”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: let he and I — Incorrect. “He” and “I” are subject forms. After “let”, both must be in the object form.
Option 2: let him and I — Incorrect. “I” is a subject form. After “let”, the object form “me” is needed.
Option 3: let him and myself — Incorrect. “Myself” is used only when “I” is already the subject of the same sentence. Here there is no “I”.
