    Solution

    I- The pronoun here should be ‘I’ instead of ‘me’. This is because when the pronoun is used before a verb, it should be in the nominative case. Back in my salad days my friends and I used to go dancing every Saturday night. II- Here, two things are compared- giving and receiving. So, instead of ‘best’, ‘better’ is correct. It is better to give than to receive anything from anyone.
