Question

Choose whether true or false:
The below-mentioned sentence is grammatically correct -

When we speak about a plural antecedent, two nouns joined by the word 'and' (a man and an animal or object, or two objects), before the relative pronoun, we should use 'that' not 'which'.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

When two nouns are linked using 'and', then it becomes a plural antecedent. The relative pronoun that follows next is 'that', as opposed to 'which'.
For e.g. 'The man and the baby, that met with an accident, have survived.'
'The man and the baby, which met with an accident, have survived.' does not sound right.
Hence the statement is True, option A is correct and B is incorrect.
