redundant word
Ted, Dan, Diane and me were all cited for contempt of court.
(A) Ted, Dan, Diane and me were all cited
(B) Ted, Dan, Diane and I were all cited
(C) Ted, Dan, Diane and I were the ones cited
(D) Ted, Dan, Diane and I were cited
(E) Ted, Dan, Diane and I was cited

I selected D, however OA is A. Isn't "all" between were and cited redundent?
More views please

I think "all" is redundant, I would prefer D then.

Absolutely, I was wrong.

I corrected my mistake. But I think D should be right answer. why do we need "all".

@scorpion: we say we all went to a place, hence the same way i thought B is correct ans.

Who cares? I have never seen a real GMAT SC item that included either "I" or "me".
