Question

I admit that I ate your last two eggs. Consider it payback for __________ finding an empty cereal box and milk carton this morning.

me
my
myself

Answer 1

The correct option to fill in the blank is "my."

So, the complete sentence would be: "I admit that I ate your last two eggs. Consider it payback for my finding an empty cereal box and milk carton this morning."

This is because "my" is used as a possessive adjective here, modifying "finding."
