AnswerClick to flip back
A
him
💡 Explanation:
The sentence requires the object pronoun 'him' because it follows 'to be' and refers back to 'the general' (object of the verb 'thought'). The structure is 'I thought [object] to be [object complement]'. We need the object case 'him', not the subject case 'he'. Option B is correct.
