Question

Complete the following sentence using a suitable interrogative pronoun:

__________ did you invite to preside over the meeting?

• A. Whom
• B. Who
• C. What
• D. Whose

Answer 1

The correct option is A Whom

The subject of the given sentence is 'you'. The verb is 'invite'. The object is the word which fills the blank.

The words 'who' and 'what' are in the nominative case. These are interrogative pronouns used when they are the subjects of the sentence i.e the noun performing the action. In this case, the blank has to be filled by a pronoun in the objective case. Hence, options B and C are incorrect.

The word 'whose' is an interrogative pronoun which is used in the possessive case. Hence, option D is incorrect.

The word, 'whom' is an interrogative pronoun which is used in the objective case. It is used when it is the object of the sentence. Hence, this is the appropriate answer and option A is correct.
