Select the correct word or phrase for the blank in the following sentence.
Georges was a great friend to _________, so he shared his freshly baked goods with us.

"Emerson and I" would only be used as the subject of the sentence. Since the subject (the person performing the action) is Georges, "me and Emerson" must be used. "Them" does not make sense in the context of the sentence since it later says "us," and "we" is ungrammatical.
