<p>It ought to be her with whom you share your secrets, not me.
A. her with whom you share your secrets, not me
B. her with whom you share your secrets, not I.
C. she with whom you share your secrets, not me.
D. she with whom you share your secrets, not I.
E. her with who you share your secrets, not me.</p>
<p>The answer is D.</p>
<p>ME is suppose to be the object, and I is the SUBJECT. In this sentence, not me/I is referring to the object. So shouldn't it be ME? Please explain</p>
<p>Bump, Help me out yo.</p>
<p>This one is tricky. The question plays into the one exception on pronoun case: the predicate nominative (or something like that; I forgot the exact name). When the pronoun modifies another noun, the pronoun needs to be in nominative case. For example, consider the following sentence: The substitute teacher is he/him. Common speech would tell us to choose "him," but, to be correct, we should use the nominative case, "he," because the pronoun modifies the subject, teacher.</p>
<p>In this question, "it" is the subject, and "she" is the predicate nominative. Similarly, in the choice between "I" and "me," we should choose "I" because that is the correct predicate nominative form (who's "it"? Not "I").</p>
