The idle steward could not see the writing on the wall, and he lost his job.
This implies that the steward failed to notice the clear signs that his behaviour would lead to losing his job.

........ went to the stadium to watch a football match?
A
Amadi and me
B
Amadi and I
C
Me and Amadi
D
Amadi and myself
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
In this sentence, the correct pronoun to use is "I" because it is the subject of the sentence. Therefore, the correct choice is "Amadi and I."
The sentence should read: "Amadi and I went to the stadium to watch a football match."
Using "me" as in option C or "myself" as in option D would be incorrect because they are object pronouns, and in this context, "Amadi and I" are the subjects of the sentence, not the objects.
