Answers

1. He (The pronoun following than must be in the same case as the noun or pronoun preceding it. Since ‘She’ is in the nominative case, we have to use a pronoun in the same case after than. Note that this rule isn’t strictly followed.)
2. Him (Here but means except and it is used as a preposition. A pronoun used after a preposition must be in the objective case.)
3. I (The pronoun following the structure …as…as… must be in the same case as the pronoun preceding it.)
4. Me (Between is a preposition. A pronoun used after a preposition must be in the objective case.)
5. Me (For is a preposition. A pronoun used after a preposition must be in the objective case.)
