Correct answer: A
Ans.(a) Sol. The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) between you and me. Rule: After a preposition (e.g., "between"), we use objective pronouns (e.g., me, him, her) instead of subjective pronouns (e.g., I, he, she). Example: Incorrect: This gift is for you and I. Correct: This gift is for you and me. Explanation of other options: · Option (b): Incorrect as "I" is a subjective pronoun. · Option (c): Incorrect as it doesn’t complete the sentence. · Option (d): Incorrect as "among" is used for more than two entities.
