Question

Choose the best suitable relative pronoun in the following sentence from the options given below:
They will be receiving help from their neighbors, most of _____ they like.

• A. who
• B. whom
• C. that
• D. which

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

whom

Relative pronouns have two functions. Like other pronouns they stand for the noun or pronoun places before them and like conjunction they join sub clauses with main clause and start the adjective clauses.

The relative pronoun 'who' and 'whom' are used for persons. The relative pronouns 'that' and 'which' are used for things.

'Whom' is the objective form of 'who' and must be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

Here, the noun 'neighbors' is the object of the preposition 'of'. So, the relative pronoun ' whom' must be used.

Thus option B is the correct answer.

Options A,C,D are incorrect.
