Question

Choose the best suitable relative pronoun in the following sentence from the options given below:
I lost the paper ______ I used to write her mobile number.

• A. who
• B. that
• C. whose
• D. where

Answer 1

The correct option is B that

Relative pronouns have two functions- Like other pronouns they stand for a noun or pronoun placed before them and like conjunctions they join subclauses with main clause and start the adjective clause.

"Who" is always used to set up a relative clause that describes a person, while "that" is used to describe an object or another non-human being.

In the given sentence the noun 'paper' is an object. So, we cannot use 'who'. 'That' must be used.

"Whose" is the possessive form of "who". So, it cannot be used.

"Where" is used to indicate places.

Thus option B is the correct answer.

Options A,B,D are incorrect.
