Select the correct word for the blank in the following sentence: Nurse Junko and _____ will review the patient's chart.

Rationale

Nurse Junko and she will review the patient's chart.

In this sentence, "she" is the correct pronoun to complete the subject compound because it is in the nominative case, suitable for subjects of verbs. The pronoun "she" pairs grammatically with "Nurse Junko" to form a compound subject that is performing the action of reviewing.

A (She) CORRECT

"She" is the correct choice because it is a subject pronoun. When forming the subject of a sentence, pronouns in the nominative case are required. Here, "she" correctly pairs with "Nurse Junko" to form the compound subject "Nurse Junko and she."

B (Them) YOUR ANSWER

"Them" is an object pronoun and cannot be used as part of a subject. Object pronouns receive the action of the verb rather than perform it. Therefore, "them" is unsuitable in this sentence where the pronoun is part of the subject performing the action.

C (Me) YOUR ANSWER

"Me" is also an object pronoun and is used when the pronoun is the object of the verb or preposition, not when it is part of the subject. Using "me" in this context would be grammatically incorrect.

D (Him) YOUR ANSWER

"Him" is another object pronoun, inappropriate for use as part of a sentence subject. Similar to "them" and "me," "him" cannot perform the action of the verb in the sentence, making it an incorrect choice.

Conclusion

In English grammar, selecting the appropriate pronoun case is crucial for sentence coherence. When forming the subject of a sentence, nominative pronouns like "she" are necessary. This question emphasizes the importance of using subject pronouns in compound subjects. Therefore, "she" is the correct choice, while the other options, being object pronouns, are not suitable in this context.
