Answer:

The correct sentence is the C. Against who you think you would compete in the contest?

Explanation:

The problem that is repeated in all the options is the use of "whom" and "who". They are relative pronouns, "Who" is used as a subject while "whom" is part of the direct or indirect object of a verb or preposition.

To know which one use you can ask yourself if the answer of the question would be he/she or him/her, in the first case you must use "who" while on the other goes "whom".

I hope this answer helps you.

The correct sentence is option C. It is “against who did you think you would compete in the contest?”

EXPLANATION:

The problem in that question is you are asked to choose the correct use of “whom” and “who”. “whom” and “who” are relative pronouns that are used to substitute the subjects or the nouns in a sentence. The different is, “whom” is used to substitute the direct or indirect object of a verb or preposition, while “who” is used to substitute the subject in a sentence.

The example is the first option, A, she is the person whom he had found sleeping in the library. The correct relative pronoun used in this sentence is “who” instead of “whom” because it substitutes the subject in a sentence. Option B, the musical group who won the top prize are from my hometown, should use the relative pronoun “who” instead of “whom” because it substitutes the subject of a sentence.

The same with the option D, that author is the one who I saw at the bookstore today, in this sentence, the relative pronoun should be used in this sentence is “whom” instead of “who” because it substitutes the direct object of a verb or preposition.
