I was surprised that, when given the news, Jack called you and she before anyone else.

Grammar issue presented: pronoun agreement

In the underlined portion Jack is the subject. The people he calls are the objects. The pronoun she is a subjective pronoun, meaning it is used to indicate the subject of a sentence.  Thus it is in the wrong form. In order to be correct, she must become her, an objective pronoun.  

A.     Jack called you and she before anyone else.
Subject / object / subject
Agrees: NO she must become her

B. you and she were called before anyone else by Jack.
Subject / subject / object
Agrees: YES
Additional errors? Passive voice: were called, by Jack

C. Jack called you and her before anyone else.
Subject / object / object
Agrees: YES
Additional errors: None

D. Jack called, before anyone else, you and she.
Subject / object / subject
Agrees: NO she must become her

E. her and you were called by Jack before anyone else.
object / subject / object
Agrees: NO her must become she

(B) and (C) contain pronoun agreement. Though (B) is not incorrect, it is not the best choice.  The active voice is preferable on the test, making (C) the clearest and best choice.
