It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Using Who or Whom", which is a grammar exercise focused on the correct use of "who" and "whom" in English sentences. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you’ve provided.
Let’s go through the worksheet step by step.
---
- Use who when the pronoun is the subject of the clause (i.e., doing the action).
- Use whom when the pronoun is the object of the verb or preposition (i.e., receiving the action).

> - Who called? → "Who" is the subject (did the calling).
> - To whom did you speak? → "Whom" is the object of "to".

2. Whom is the president talking to?
→ "Talking to" — "whom" is the object of the preposition "to". ✔️
3. Whom did Robert send the letter to?
→ "Send... to whom?" → "whom" is the object.
> Note: "To whom" is formal; but in modern usage, people often say "Who did Robert send the letter to?"
