Answer:
The correct pronoun is whomever.
Explanation:
The pronoun whomever is the <em>objective case</em> of whoever. This means whomever can only be used either with a preposition (e.g. to, for, or about) or with a verb (an action word) that requires a direct object. Use whoever or whomever to agree with the verb in that dependent clause, regardless of the rest of the sentence.
Cool.........................
"Him" is the indirect object.
"Lena" is the subject, the person performing the action. "Tell" is the verb, the action performed. "The truth" is the direct object, the recipient of the action. "Him" is affected by the action.
Hope this helps! :)
