The sentence which contains an objective pronoun is: The reporters asking me questions were from the local newspaper.

An objective pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is normally used as a grammatical object, either as the direct or indirect object of a verb or as the object of a preposition. These pronouns alway take the objective case, wether they are indirect or direct object pronouns.

The basic pronouns take a different form when they are used as object:

  • I=Me
  • You=You (wether singular or plural)
  • He=Him
  • She=Her
  • They=Them
  • We=Us

In the sentence given "Me" is the objective pronoun because it receives the action. The reporters asked me.

I hope that this answer is correct and help you out. Greetings.
