While reviewing the final draft of the literary anthology, the head publisher suggested that the guest editor and me should coordinate they're efforts to meet the upcoming submission deadline.

Which of the following options represents the grammatically correct choice to replace the underlined portion of the sentence?

  1. A
    me should coordinate they're
  2. B
    I should coordinate they're
  3. C
    me should coordinate their
  4. I should coordinate theirCevap

Cevap

the guest editor and I should coordinate their
The correct option correctly uses the subjective pronoun 'I' as part of the compound subject 'the guest editor and I' that performs the action 'should coordinate'. It also uses the possessive pronoun 'their' to modify the noun 'efforts'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the correct pronoun case for the compound subject.
The pronoun is part of the compound subject ('the guest editor and [pronoun]') performing the action 'should coordinate'. Therefore, the subjective pronoun 'I' must be used instead of the objective pronoun 'me'.
Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun performs the action of the verb.
2
Determine the correct word to indicate possession of 'efforts'.
The sentence requires the possessive pronoun 'their' to show ownership of 'efforts', not the contraction 'they're' (which stands for 'they are').
Possessive determiners modify nouns to show possession, whereas contractions combine a pronoun and a verb.
