<p>(No one was more pleased than I) when we heard that maria was offered the job she had worked so hard for.</p>

<p>This sentence is labelled by collegeboard as correct. However should the ‘I’ not be changed to ‘me’? I understand that the ‘I’ may have a tacit ‘was’ omitted -No was was more pleased than I (was) - but I have always been taught that these circumstances would only ever END a sentence. Here, it occurs in the middle.</p>

<p>Does anybody have a concrete grammar rule to deal with this?</p>
