Question

Would you mind _____ reading aloud ?

• A. I
• B. me
• C. my
• D. myself

Answer 1

Answer:

C. my

• In this context, "reading aloud" is a gerund phrase (a verb ending in "-ing" acting as a noun).

• When a pronoun comes immediately before a gerund, it is grammatically correct to use the possessive form of the pronoun (my, your, his, her, its, our, their).

• While some people informally use "me" in this sentence ("Would you mind me reading aloud?"), the formal and grammatically standard answer is "my".
