Question

The following sentences test correctness and effectiveness of expression.
Curiosity about other people, about the ways they think and act, has caused Jeff to meet some fascinating characters as well as people which also really bore him.

• A. People which also really bore him
• B. He encountered really boring people
• C. Very boring people are also met
• D. Some very boring people
• E. Very boring people also

Answer 1

The correct option is D Some very boring people

We cannot use 'which' with reference to people, so the underlined construct is ungrammatical and the way it is phrased is also quite awkward. Option D rectifies these errors without adding new ones.
