Are these correct?
Yes, your answers are correct. Let's go through the explanation for each question:
1: "Except for Ronnie and....., everyone was on time."
In this sentence, "everyone" is the subject of the sentence, and the missing pronoun will also be the subject. The correct pronoun to use as the subject is "he". Therefore, the correct answer is A: he.
2: "Between you and ...., I know the answer to the mystery."
In this sentence, "I" is the subject, and the missing pronoun will also be the subject. The correct pronoun to use as the subject is "I". Therefore, the correct answer is A: I.
3: "Someone sent Ed and (me) a text from an unknown phone."
In this sentence, the underlined pronoun "me" is the recipient of the action. It indirectly receives the text. Therefore, the correct answer is B: indirect object.
4: "Mr. Simons saw Owen and (us) at the registry."
In this sentence, the underlined pronoun "us" is the object of the verb "saw" and directly receives the action. Therefore, the correct answer is A: direct object.
5: "With...did you have dinner?"
In this sentence, the correct pronoun to use is the object form of "who", which is "whom". The pronoun acts as the object of the preposition "with". Therefore, the correct answer is B: whom.
6: "It was Geraldine Ferraro....ran for vice president in 1984."
In this sentence, "Geraldine Ferraro" is the subject of the relative clause. The pronoun refers to the subject and is used as the subject of the verb "ran". Therefore, the correct answer is A: who.
