1."I"(a)
'My sister and I' is the subject of the verb 'went'. Remove 'my sister and' to check: 'I went to the cinema' (correct), not 'me went'.
2."me"(b)
After the preposition 'to', we need the object form. Remove 'Jack and' to check: 'gave extra homework to me' (correct).
3."It"(a)
We use 'it' as a dummy subject to talk about weather. 'It is raining' is the standard pattern.
4."me"(a)
After 'than' in comparisons, we use the object form of the pronoun. 'Taller than me' — the speaker is comparing Tom to himself/herself.
5."It"(a)
In standard spoken English, we say 'It's me!' (not 'I am' or 'It is I'). This is a fixed expression.
