To choose the correct word in parentheses, you need to consider the correct pronoun to use in this context.

In this sentence, we have "Don't leave without Ian and (me, I)!" Here, we need a pronoun to complete the sentence. To determine whether to use "me" or "I," we can remove "Ian" from the sentence and test the pronouns individually.

"Don't leave without me" or "Don't leave without I" - To determine the correct pronoun, we need to identify whether the pronoun functions as the subject or the object of the sentence.

In this case, the pronoun is the object of the preposition "without." The correct pronoun to use as the object is "me." Thus, the correct answer is "Don't leave without me."
