B. When you see this kind of question, remove the person in front. In this case, the question is "There was enough room in the car for Maya and __________." So, to get the answer, block out the words "Maya and". You'll be left with "There was enough room in the car for __________." In this case, the answer would be "us", as the object of the sentence is 'room in the car', which would make "__________" a subject. When referring to oneself as a subject, the word "me" or "us" would be used. The other words cannot be used as they are all objects. A simple way to remember this is "We do things, whereas things get done to Us." In this case, the room in the car is not enough for us, hence making "________" a subject instead of an object.
