Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I was disappointed with my birthday present. It wasn't exactly ____ I expected.

• A. that
• B. that what
• C. what
• D. which

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

what

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.

'What' is used when the antecedent is understood.

'That' and 'which' are used for things.

'That' and 'What' are not used together.

In the given sentence the antecedent is implied.

Thus option C is the correct answer. Options A,B,D are incorrect.
