IMO A - Sentence is hypothetical so A, B and C are left. I should be compared with he

For first I would go with A because "I" is subject and we require another subject for comparison and that subject is "he" not "him" because "him" is a object..............were is being used because this is superlative form

For second sentence I would go with option B, to lead is required because intention is being shown....

whats the OA for both?????

Shobhit- Thanks for the reply. OA is not available. I read these questions on one of the webpages. The answer was not provided. I marked 1. B 2. C, both were incorrect [Correct answer was not given :(]. Hence, I wanted to go back to the basics.

Please correct me if I am wrong, this is purely my understanding


For #2, Project leaders --> stem is talking about more than one, so her is not possible.
Left option A and E, and this are 2 options which I am confused with. Need help

if I say, which one is correct
I want Ram and Sham to be in the project
I want Ram and Sham both to be in the project.

Q2:I want Julio and she to be the project leaders for the rest of the year.

A. I want Julio and she to be the project leaders
B. I want Julio and her to be the project leaders
C. I want Julio and she to lead the project
D. I want Julio and her as the project leaders
E. I want Julio and she both to be the project leaders
I am not an Expert, please feel free to suggest if there is an error.
