Let's solve the problem step by step, explaining the correct choice for each sentence.
Question 6:
Sentence: I'm looking at the album ______ we took together.
-
Options: (a) which, (b) who, (c) whom
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "the album," which is an inanimate object.
- "Which" is used to refer to objects or animals.
- "Who" and "whom" are used to refer to people.
Thus, the correct answer is:
-
(a) which
Question 7:
Sentence: They have a very large garden ______ there is a lovely fountain.
-
Options: (a) that, (b) which, (c) whose
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "garden," which is an inanimate object.
- Both "that" and "which" can be used to refer to objects, but "whose" is used to show possession.
- In this case, "that" is more commonly used in restrictive clauses (clauses that provide essential information).
Thus, the correct answer is:
-
(a) that
Question 8:
Sentence: I don't understand a word ______ you are talking about.
-
Options: (a) what, (b) that, (c) who
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "word," which is an inanimate object.
- "That" is used to refer to objects, and it fits well here.
- "What" is not a relative pronoun; it is an interrogative pronoun.
- "Who" is used to refer to people.
Thus, the correct answer is:
-
(b) that
Question 9:
Sentence: The person I know knows someone ______ met the President.
-
Options: (a) who, (b) whom, (c) which
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to "someone," which is a person.
- "Who" is used to refer to people when they are the subject of the verb.
- "Whom" is used when the person is the object of the verb.
- In this case, "met" is a verb where the subject is "someone," so "who" is appropriate.
Thus, the correct answer is:
-
(a) who
Question 10:
Sentence: The teacher wants to find out ______ broke the window glass.
-
Options: (a) who, (b) who's, (c) whose
#### Explanation:
- The relative pronoun should refer to the person who broke the window glass.
- "Who" is used to refer to people when they are the subject of the verb.
- "Who's" is a contraction of "who is" or "who has," which does not fit here.
- "Whose" is used to show possession, which is not applicable here.
Thus, the correct answer is:
-
(a) who
