Okay then #2 is D?
I'm not sure about #3?
- English - Writeacher, Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 4:14pm
Yes, 2 is D.
In 3, this won't work. Do you know why?
"it was Josh and me"
And this isn't even a real word! "theirselves"
So what do you think about 3?

Okay then #3 has to be A because in letter C, "I reminded me" doesn't make sense, it should be "I reminded myself"
- English - Writeacher, Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 4:19pm
That's right. 3 is A.
