Answer:

"forty little demons ... who are."

Explanation:

The word "who" is meant to refer to humans, so its use with mythological beings, animals and objects represents a grammatical error. This error can be seen in the text when the word "who" is used to refer to demons. Demons are not human beings, so they cannot be referenced by the words "who", being the correct one, use the word "which".

There is a grammatical error in: "forty little demons ... <u>who</u> are."

You could argue that since "demons" are not human beings but rather supernatural, evil spirits or entities (often meddling with humans' lives), they should not be referred to using the pronoun "who," but with "which."

However, it is understandable thanks to the context that the author is talking about human children here. Using the pronoun "which" to refer to them, although it would be grammatically correct, would sound very harsh because dehumanizing.

Write a spooky story
artcher [175]
There once was a kid named John. He was a young and adventurous kid. One day he went into the forest. He was sort of peculiar about it. His friends told him stories that there was a witch who made kids like him disappear. He wanted to prove them wrong that there wasn’t a witch. He soon came across an old, creaky house. He went inside, trying not to make a sound. He tried to see what was inside with his flash light. As soon as he turned around, he saw something dash across the hallway. He was curious. It looked like a dog to him. He went into the room that the thing went it. The witch was standing there, waiting for him. He grabbed John and tied him to the chair. She was stirring a potion. John was trying to yell for help, but he couldn’t. He was too deep into the forest. The witch forced him to drink the potion. Then … POOF! He disappeared, and John was never to be seen again.
