Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun:
_____ do you prefer, tea with or without milk?

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

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

What

Option A is the correct answer because we use 'what' to ask for information about things and actions. The sentence is asking what the person would prefer between the two given things or options.

'Whose' is a possessive pronoun which we use to find out which person something belongs to. As the sentence does not intend to find out the belongingness of anything to anyone, option A is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because we use 'whom' to ask which person receives an action. Since we are not referring to anything living in the sentence, using this option would be illogical.

We use 'when' to ask for information about what time something happens. As the sentence does not indicate the speaker asking for a time, option C is incorrect as well.
