Good job on your answers! Let's go through each question to confirm if you've selected the correct sentences:
1. The correct sentence is D) She is younger than him and me.
In this sentence, "him and me" are used as objects, so the objective pronouns "him" and "me" should be used.
2. The correct sentence is B) The doctor and psychiatrist compared their records for their mutual patient.
In this case, "their" is the correct possessive pronoun to show that the records belong to the doctor and psychiatrist.
3. The correct sentence is B) For whom did you vote?
In formal English, "whom" is the objective form of "who" and should be used in situations where "who" is the object of the sentence.
4. The correct sentence is B) They, themselves, had a happy holiday celebration.
The reflexive pronoun "themselves" is used to refer back to the subject "they" in this sentence.
5. The correct sentence is A) Whoever arrives first has first pick of the desserts.
In this sentence, "whoever" is the subject of the verb "arrives," so the subjective pronoun "whoever" is used.
