Sunil and I helped to sell tickets.
No improvement
The correct answer is "No improvement". The original sentence, "Sunil and I helped to sell tickets," is grammatically correct. The pronoun "I" is used correctly as the subject of the verb "helped".
Let's examine why the other options are incorrect:
- We: While "we" is a plural pronoun, it doesn't accurately reflect the subject-verb agreement. The sentence is about Sunil and the speaker's individual actions. Using "we" would imply a collective effort distinct from the individual contribution mentioned.
- Us: "Us" is an objective pronoun, and it cannot be used as the subject of a sentence. The subject should always be a nominative pronoun (I, he, she, we, they) which functions as the actor of the verb.
- Me: Similar to "us," "me" is an objective pronoun. Using "me" would be grammatically incorrect as it's inappropriately functioning as the subject of the sentence. The pronoun in the subject position needs to be in the nominative case.
Therefore, the original sentence is perfectly structured and employs the correct pronoun case for the subject, making "No improvement" the appropriate choice. The sentence clearly indicates the participation of both Sunil and the speaker in selling the tickets. The subject-verb agreement is accurate, and the pronoun case is consistent with grammatical rules.
