Question

Complete the sentence using the most appropriate relative pronoun:
What did you do with the money _______ I had given you yesterday?

• A. whichever
• B. whose
• C. which
• D. those

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

which

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','Whom' and 'Whose' are used in case of persons.

'Whose' is the possessive form of 'who'.

'Those' is not a relative pronoun. It is a demonstrative pronoun.

We can thus eliminate options B and D as incorrect.

'Which and 'whichever' are used in case of things but 'Whichever' is a compound relative which gives a generalised idea.

In the given sentence a particular thing is being talked about. So 'which' must be used.

Thus option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect.
