A friend of ___ told ___ about it. ?
Explanation
In the first blank, the phrase "A friend of mine" is the correct choice because "mine" is the possessive pronoun that indicates ownership. It shows that the friend belongs to the speaker, implying a personal connection. Phrasing this as "A friend of my" would be grammatically incorrect, as "my" does not properly function in this context where a possessive pronoun is required.
In the second blank, "told me" is the appropriate choice. "Me" is the objective pronoun used when the speaker is the recipient of an action, in this case, receiving the information that was told. Using "she" or "my" would not fit, as they do not correspond to the sentence structure that demands an objective pronoun after the verb "told."
Thus, the full sentence "A friend of mine told me about it." correctly employs the possessive and objective forms, making 'B: mine/me' the clear and grammatically accurate choice.
