Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the right relative pronoun:
who,
whom, or
whose.
Remember from the green note:
-
Who = subject (the person doing the action)
-
Whom = object (the person receiving the action — often after a preposition like “to”, “with”, “for”)
-
Whose = shows possession (like “his”, “her”, “their”)
