Which of the following options represents the most effective and grammatically correct version of the underlined portion?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. B
    she and me, whose
  3. her and me, whoseCevap
  4. D
    her and I, who's

Cevap

The correct answer is the option that uses the objective pronouns 'her and me' and the possessive pronoun 'whose'.
The preposition 'on' requires its objects to be in the objective case, making 'her and me' the correct pronoun selection. Additionally, the possessive pronoun 'whose' is needed to modify 'designs' because the contraction 'who's' represents 'who is' or 'who has'. The option containing both 'her and me' and 'whose' is grammatically correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the grammatical role of the pronouns following the preposition 'on'.
The pronouns function as the objects of the preposition 'on'. Therefore, they must be in the objective case.
Prepositions must always take pronouns in the objective case (e.g., 'her' and 'me' rather than 'she' and 'I').
2
Determine the correct word to modify the noun 'designs'.
The possessive relative pronoun 'whose' is required to indicate that the designs belong to the architects.
The contraction 'who's' means 'who is' or 'who has', which does not fit the possessive context of the sentence.
