Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option:

Ram, _____ is a postman, is my friend. [Basic]

A
which

B
who

C
whose

D
whom

Solution

A subject of a sentence is the person, place or thing we are talking about. Generally, if we can replace the subject with a subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun who.
An object in a sentence is the person, thing or place who is on the receiving end of the action. If we can replace the object with an object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun whom.
Whose (the possessive form of who) is used in speaking of persons, animals and also things without life.
Which is used for things without life and for animals.
Here, Option B is correct. We use 'who' as we are referring to the subject of the sentence.
Consequently, the other three options cancel out.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the correct option:

To ______ should I give the message? [Intermediate]

A
who

B
which

C
whom

D
whose

Solution

A subject of a sentence is the person, place or thing we are talking about. Generally, if we can replace the subject with a subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun who.
An object in a sentence is the person, thing or place who is on the receiving end of the action. If we can replace the object with an object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun whom.
Whose (the possessive from of who) is used in speaking of persons, animals and also things without life.
Which is used for things without life and for animals.
Here, Option C is correct. We use 'whom' as we are referring to the object of the preposition in the sentence. We can also write 'I should give the message to him.' So, to refer back to 'him', we need to use 'whom'.
Consequently, the other three options cancel out.
Question 3
1 / -0

Supply a verb in agreement with the subject:

He asked me whether either of the applicants ______ suitable.

A

Solution

It is to be kept in mind that Either, Neither, Each, Everyone, Many a, must be followed by a singular verb.
'Either of the applicants' means each individual applicant. So, we are referring to a singular noun. By the general convention, a singular noun takes a singular verb. Hence, Option B 'was' is correct and Option A 'were' is incorrect.
Options C and D are incorrect because they are irrelevant to the context.
