Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct sentence: She and I were busy with the project.
Explanation:
Rule: When listing people that include yourself, put the other person(s) before yourself. Therefore, do not say "I and ..."; say "... and I."
Why the chosen sentence is correct: "She and I were busy with the project." places the other person (she) before the speaker (I) and uses the correct verb form.
Corrections for the other sentences:
"He and You should go and buy some fruits." → "You and he should go and buy some fruit."
"You and I have misbehaved with the principal." → Better: "You and I have misbehaved in front of the principal."
"He, I and you can build a house together." → "You, he and I can build a house together."
Summary:
Always put other people before yourself (so "She and I", "You and he", "You, he and I"), and choose natural prepositions and nouns (for example, "in front of the principal" rather than "with the principal", and "fruit" rather than "fruits" in this context).
