Right, again! :-)
To determine the correct word or phrase to fill in the blank "Do you really want to give __________ the money that you earned?", we need to identify the appropriate pronoun to refer to the person or people who will be receiving the money.
In this case, we are talking about giving the money to a specific person or group of people. So, we should use the objective pronoun. The objective pronouns include "him," "her," "them," and "you."
Option A ("she and Jim") and Option B ("Jim and she") both use the subjective pronoun "she," which is incorrect in this context.
Option C ("them two") is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase would be "the two of them" or simply "them."
Option D ("Jim and her") uses the objective pronoun "her," which correctly refers to a person receiving the money. Therefore, Option D is the correct choice.
Your answer, D ("Jim and her"), is correct. Well done!
