The correct answer: A me
Your answer: B I


"The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and me."

No one would say, “The professor gave the most difficult problems to I.” Still, many of us instinctively use the pronoun I when we're paired with another person, even when me is required (because it’s an indirect object as in this example or because it follows a preposition). If you’re unsure whether to use I or me, you may be tempted to skirt the issue by saying, “The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and myself.” Nice try, but myself should only be used for emphasis, not in a sentence like this one.


I got owned...I was always taught to pair a name with "I"

Me got that one right because me know how to use pronouns correctly.
 
How do you figure?

I go to school with a bunch of Asians. I should learn Chinese, Japanese, and all those other asian languages in case they're all talking about me.

The way I figure them out is to take out the "Andrea and" and see if it sounds right.
 
yea, I guess....."and me" sounds right....and I normally would've written "and me"...just that what i remembered from school just flashed in my head, so I went with "and I"

damnit school
