alleryWhich sentence correctly uses the relative pronoun in the objective case?
AWho did you speak to yesterday?
BWhom agreed to the proposal?
CTo whom did you give the keys?
DWho among them did you invite to address the audience?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. To whom did you give the keys?
Use "whom" when the pronoun is in the objective case.
In option C, the pronoun is the object of the preposition "to," so "whom" is correct.
In A and D, formal grammar would prefer "whom" after the preposition or as the object, and in B the pronoun is the subject
so "who" would be needed.
