A)My brother knows more about technology than me.
b)My brother knows more about technology than I.
B is correct answer why?
The implied phrase is "than I do.

A)Please send an invitation to Bob and she.
B)Please send an invitation to Bob and her.
B is correct answer why?
"Bob and her" are objects of the preposition "to," so "her" needs to be in the objective case.

A)My best friend and I are going to Hawaii this summer.
B)My best friend and me are going to Hawaii this summer.
A is correct answer why?
"friend and I" are the subjects of the verb "are going." Therefore, "I" must be in the subjective case.

In your first question, "than I do" is a clause, not a phrase.

Thank you, I can tell which sentence is written correctly, but trying to figure out the pronoun reason is a little confusing to me. I will research some more.

Pardon my skepticism -- but as an old English teacher -- I suspect that you copied the answers but your source didn't have the reasons for these answers.
