Why are the italicized pronouns used correctly in sentence below Select all that apply You honored Grace and me when you she invited us out to dinner?

The italicized pronouns in the sentence "You honored Grace and *me* when you *she* invited us out to dinner?" are not used correctly. Here's why:

* "Me" should be "I": When used as the object of a verb, "I" should be used. In this sentence, "honored" is the verb, and "Grace and I" are the objects.

* "She" should be "you": The sentence is trying to say that "you" invited them to dinner. The pronoun "she" is incorrect and refers to a female person not mentioned in the sentence.

The corrected sentence would be: "You honored Grace and *I* when *you* invited us out to dinner?"
