Both the ANSWER and the EXPLANATION:

When Sergeant-Major Morris initially tells the story behind the magic monkey's paw, Mr. White and his son are intrigued by the story. Both Mr. White and his son, Herbert, ask Sergeant-Major Morris several questions regarding the monkey's paw, its origins, and its history. While both Mr. White and his son find the monkey's paw fascinating, they are not positive that the paw is actually magical and want to find out for themselves if Morris is telling the truth. Mrs. White does not believe that the monkey's paw has any magical powers and dismisses it as being pure fantasy. After her husband recovers it from the fire, Mrs. White comments, "Sounds like the ‘Arabian Nights'" (Jacobs, 3). Herbert then encourages his father to make a wish and suggests that he wish for two hundred pounds to pay off the mortgage. Mr. White considers Herbert's suggestion and casually wishes for two hundred pounds. Suddenly, Mr. White feels the monkey's paw move and his wife insists that it was simply his imagination. Herbert also reveals his doubts about the magical powers of the monkey's paw before heading to bed. Unfortunately, Mr. and Mrs. White discover the dark truth behind the monkey's paw as their worst fears come to fruition.

Mariulka [41]

Answer: misused pronoun: me. Correct pronoun: I.

Explanation: Pronouns have three possible cases: subjective, possessive and objective. The subjective case is used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence (they are: I, you, she/he/it, they, we). The objective case is used when the pronoun acts as an object in the sentence (they are: me, her, them, us, etc). The possessive case is used to indicate ownership (they are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs). In the given sentence, the pronoun is in the subject of the sentence, therefore it should be in the subjective case: After school, Bob and I cleaned up their yard.
