Ok thank you. I will go with "B"
I would like you to listen to "me".
You are correct! The underlined word "her" in sentence C is an object pronoun.
An object pronoun is a pronoun that functions as the object of a verb or preposition in a sentence. In this case, "her" is receiving the action of the verb "gave" and is therefore an object pronoun.
To identify the object pronoun in each sentence, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the verb in the sentence (the action word).
Step 2: Identify the direct or indirect object of the verb.
Step 3: If the object is a pronoun, it can be classified as an object pronoun.
In sentence A, "You" is the subject pronoun, not an object pronoun. Sentence B also contains a subject pronoun, "you," and not an object pronoun. Sentence D has the possessive pronoun "our," which is not an object pronoun either.
So, the correct answer is C.
