18. Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?
A. That field belongs to my wife and I.
B. My brother Billy and me went to the movies.
[C. Jerry handed the instructions to the boys and me.]
D. Mother gave Jeff and I second helpings.
I agree.
The correct answer is C. "Jerry handed the instructions to the boys and me."
To determine the correct answer, it is important to understand pronoun usage and the rules of subject-verb agreement.
In option A, the phrase "my wife and I" is incorrectly used as the object of the preposition "to." The correct pronoun to use as the object of the preposition here is "me." So, the correct sentence would be "That field belongs to my wife and me."
In option B, the subject pronoun "me" is incorrectly used as the subject of the sentence. The correct pronoun to use here is "I." So, the correct sentence would be "My brother Billy and I went to the movies."
Option C is the correct answer because the pronoun "me" is used correctly as the object of the preposition "to."
In option D, just like option A, the phrase "Jeff and I" is incorrectly used as the object of the verb "gave." The correct pronoun to use as the object here is "me." So, the correct sentence would be "Mother gave Jeff and me second helpings."
Therefore, option C is the only grammatically correct sentence in the given choices.
