ambiguous (Question:682112.1)

Ans. C is also right.

Question:

DIRECTION: In the following question, the sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

Please, excuse ______ early.

Options:
A) me to leave
B) my leaving
C) me for leaving
D) my to leave
Solution:
In the first sentence the word preceding the gerund is in the possessive case, while in the second sentence it is in the objective case. Both the sentences are correct. We can use either the possessive case or objective case of nouns and pronouns before gerunds. The possessive is more formal, and it is less usual in everyday speech.


Hence, option B is the appropriate option.
