    I know of no (1)/ other person in the (2)/ company who is (3)/ as diligent as her. (4)
    Solutions

    We use the nominative case to show the subject of a verb. Remember that the subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb.

    ‘She’ is the subject of the verb ‘is’.

    Therefore, ‘she’ must be used instead of ‘her’.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    The manager (1)/ expects Preeti and I (2)/ to attend (3)/ the webinar on digital marketing. (4)
    Solutions

    We use the nominative case to show the subject of a verb. Remember that the subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. However, a pronoun used as the subject of an infinitive is in the objective case.

    Therefore, the correct pronoun here is ‘me’, because it is the subject of the infinitive ‘to attend’. ‘I’ should be replaced with ‘me’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    Two engineers, Priyank (1)/ and him were (2)/ in charge of directing (3)/ the building of the subway. (4)
    Solutions

    A pronoun used in apposition with a noun is in the same case as the noun. An appositive is a noun or pronoun placed after another noun or pronoun to identify, explain, or rename it.

    Therefore, ‘him’ must be replaced with ‘he’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.
