Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The man ____ you bought this car from cheated you.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

that

As we can see, the answer will connect the first clause to the pronoun 'you'. This can only be achieved by using relative pronouns and thus, the answer must be a relative pronoun. Further, the answer must refer to the person that the subject bought the car from.

Option A is incorrect. 'which' is a relative pronoun but, it can only refer to inanimate objects and not a person. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option B is correct. 'that' is a relative pronoun that can refer to a person. Thus, it meets the required condition and is the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect. 'what' is an interrogative pronoun and not a relative pronoun. Thus, it cannot be the answer.

Option D is incorrect. 'which that' contains two relative pronouns. Two pronouns cannot be used side by side to refer to a single person. Thus, 'which that' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
