Direction: Fill in the blank with the correct form of the pronoun in the following sentence:
Rama and __________ were present.

In this sentence, the missing pronoun forms part of the compound subject performing the action ("were present"). English grammar requires pronouns in the subjective case (nominative case) when they function as the subject of a verb. Therefore, "I" is correct, while the objective pronoun "me" is incorrect.
This gives us: "Rama and I were present."
