Sentence D. In order to determine the correct pronoun, remove the other name.
"Please give Paul and I your undivided attention" becomes "please give me your undivided attention" so the correct pronoun is "me."
"Jacob and me are going to set a meeting date." becomes "I am going to set a meeting date" so the correct pronoun is "I."
"Carol told Sylvia and he the good news." becomes "Carol told him the good news" so the correct pronoun is "him."
"Send the package to Tanya and him." becomes "Send the package to him." so the sentence is correct.

To figure these out, just leave out the first part and use the pronoun ONLY.
Please give I your undivided attention (NO)
Me are going to set a meeting date (NO)
Carol told he the good news (NO)
Send the package to him (YES)

D.
The way to solve these is to scratch out the "Name and" and see if the remaining sentence makes sense.
A. Please give I your undivided attention.
B. me are going to set a meeting date.
C. Carol told he the good news.
D. Send the package to him.
Only D makes sense.

It's been so long since I thought about grammar, I actually had to look this up. Apparently D is the only sentence which is correct.

The answer is D. All these people saying A don't know grammar.

The answer is C. To figure this out, easily, just remove the word "you" to see if it still makes sense. A. Me gave them this gift. ~ WRONG B. Did you know that me gave them this gift? ~ WRONG C. They said this gift is from me. ~ CORRECT D. It is a gift that makes I look generous. ~ WRONG

D. I don't want to do your homework though so next time say why you want to know. This question should be under homework help or polls.

Only D - and I'm not too sure about that one.
