Which interrogative pronoun best completes the sentence?

1 answer:

8 0

Out of all the pronouns, "whom" makes the most sense grammatically. This allows us to narrow it down to A or D.

In order for it to be the object of a preposition, there would have to be a preposition in front of it. "For," however is not a preposition. In fact, there isn't a preposition in the whole question.

This leaves us with option D, which is the correct answer.

You can better tell it's a direct object if you flip the sentence around a bit.
Your sister is waiting for whom?
"Whom" is essentially receiving the action. "Whom" is what your sister is waiting for.

Answer: D. whom; direct object.

Which is the strongest revision of the following sentence?

Gwar [14]

Answer:

A) Students will be allowed to eat lunch on the hill outside of the cafeteria if they keep quiet, avoid entering other buildings, and clean up their trash afterward.

Explanation:

The first part of the answer (if they keep quiet) is alluded to by the first part in the text (can not be noisy). This phrase does not require a reduction in the level of noise, but a total absence of it.

The second part of the answer (avoid entering other buildings) is alluded to by the third part of the sentence (and not enter other buildings during lunch). The two phrases change just in word order and selection. The resemblance is clear.

The third part of the answer (clean up their trash afterward) is alluded to by the second part of the sentence (have all their trash picked up). The two sentences are, again, the same meaning in different word choices.
