3. In these lines from _Hamlet_, which of the choices should fill in the blank in Hamlet's reply? 
     QUEEN: Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet.
            I pray thee stay with us, go not to Wittenberg.
    HAMLET: I sahll in all my best obey _____, madam.

  1. you
  2. thee
  3. ye

3 is WRONG. "Ye" is the subjective case of the plural personal pronoun, and although by Shakespeare's time it was interchangeable with "you", it's found only in very colloquial contexts.
