I wonder which one I got wrong? Is there an answer sheet or something?

Edit-

Aargh got this one wrong - I put went/I.

5. He __________ to the banquet with Naomi and __________.
a. gone / I
b. gone / me
c. went / I
d. went / me
The correct answer is went / me.
Points: a=0, b=1, c=1, d=2
Definitions:
gone - v. past participle of go
went - v. past tense of go
