1."me"(a)
'Give' takes a double object: 'give me that book'. We use the object pronoun 'me' as the indirect object. 'Give I' is incorrect.
2."us"(b)
'We didn't understand' tells us the speaker's group needed help. 'Show' takes a double object: 'showed us the answer'. We use the object pronoun 'us'. 'Them' would mean a different group, not the speaker's.
3."him"(c)
'Mr. Jones' is male. 'Send' takes a double object: 'send him a copy'. We use the object pronoun 'him' as the indirect object. 'Her' is wrong because Mr. Jones is male.
4."her"(d)
'Lily' is female. 'Buy' takes a double object: 'bought her a new dress'. We use the object pronoun 'her'. 'She' and 'he' are subject pronouns and cannot follow a verb.
5."them"(a)
'Tell' takes a double object: 'told them the good news'. We use the object pronoun 'them'. 'Told they' is incorrect.
