Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate word.
Where are the scissors _____ I bought yesterday?

• A. Which
• B. Whose
• C. Who
• D. Where

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Which

Option A is the correct answer as ‘which’ is used for things and the sentence is talking about ‘scissors' here. A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. Here, ‘which' connects the noun ‘scissors' to the clause ‘I bought yesterday.’ Option B cannot be used as ‘whose’ is the possessive form of ‘who’ and is used when some kind of possession is shown. As this sentence does not talk about people possessing or owning something, ‘whose’ cannot be used here. Option C cannot be used as ‘who’ is used for people. Option D cannot be used as ‘where’ is used for place.
