D Correct answer
Explanation

When agreeing with a negative statement, use 'either' after a negative auxiliary. 'Too' and 'as well' are used for positive agreement (e.g., 'I like cheese' → 'I like it too'). 'Also' is awkward in this position and rarely used with negatives in short responses.

A Correct answer
Explanation

In cleft sentences like 'It was...who...', the pronoun remains in the subjective case because it's the subject of the relative clause. The full structure is 'It was I who did the homework', where 'I' is the subject of 'did'. 'Me' is an object pronoun and would be incorrect.
