Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
His wife, _________ lives in Paris, is a fashion model.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A who

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.

In the given sentence the wife of a person is being talked about.

'Who', 'whom', 'whose' are used in case of persons.

"Who" is always used to set up a relative clause that describes a person, while "that" is used to describe an object or another non-human being.

Since the relative clause describes the subject, 'who' must be used.

Thus option A is the correct answer.

Options B,C,D are incorrect.
