In the line “I don’t mean US!”, why is the word “us” used instead of “we”?


A

For the reason that “we” cannot be used after the verb “mean”.


B

Because “we” is a subject pronoun and should be used as the subject of a sentence, not the object.


C

Since “we” is a relative pronoun, it should never come after a verb.


D

Because object pronouns should not be used after non-action verbs.


E

As a relative pronoun, “we” is preferred when connecting two verbs, which is not the case.
