Answer 1

Hint: In order to answer this question we first need to understand what pronouns are. Since all the persons are referred to as the objects of the action, the pronouns used should also be objective i.e. him and me. These are known as personal pronouns.

Complete step by step answer:
A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. Pronouns are used to avoid repeating the same nouns over and over again. Common pronouns are he, she, it, they etc.
Nouns can be names of any place, thing, person or animal.
In this question we will be focusing upon personal pronouns. Personal pronouns refer to a particular thing or person. The type of personal pronoun that is appropriate to use depends on the gender and the number of things or persons. They can serve as the subjects, objects of the verbs or preposition.

Since all the persons are referred to as the objects of the action, the pronouns used should also be objective i.e. him and me.
