Task: Complete each relative clause by adding who, whose, where, or that in the blank.
#### Explanation:
Relative clauses are used to provide additional information about a noun. The choice of relative pronoun (
who, whose, where, or that) depends on the relationship between the noun and the information being added:
1.
Who: Refers to people.
2.
Whose: Shows possession (ownership).
3.
Where: Refers to places.
4.
That: Can refer to both people and things, often used in restrictive clauses.
