EXAMPLE: Baxter had no plans for celebrating his 21st birthday.

He had a tall, muscular body and dark curly hair.

SOLUTION:   Baxter, who had a tall muscular body and dark curly hair, had no plans for celebrating his 21st birthday.

1.   So Baxter decided to let his best friend Max fix him up with a blind date.

     Max had a taste for long-legged, romantic women.

2.   Max spent a great deal of time calling 976 "party line" numbers.

     Bax had known him for 15 years.

3.   While talking on the line about a week before, Max had spoken with a young woman.

     He thought she would be the ideal date for Baxter.

4.   The woman said that she would be happy to meet Baxter.

     The woman referred to herself as Cinderella.

     The woman called him her Prince Charming.

5.   So Max arranged for Bax to meet Cinderella the following Wednesday.

     Bax was incredibly nervous.

6.   Max drove Bax to the meeting place, a local Denny's.

     Bax did not have a car.

7.   Max literally had to shove Bax into the restaurant.

     Three 75-year-old ladies roaming around the parking lot pinched Bax.

8.   Bax finally sat down on the yellow vinyl couch near the door.

     Bax had been twisting his burgundy bow tie for hours.

9.   Baxter grew impatient after watching nine single women walk in.

     The women caused his heart to palpitate.

10. Finally, his Cinderella wiggled through the door.

     Cinderella sent his senses roaring with her purple leather mini-dress.

Explanation:

A dependent adjective clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. It functions in a similar way to adjectives, offering further information about something that was mentioned in another sentence. Adjective clauses are often introduced by relative pronouns such as who, whom, which, or that.

Both "who" and "whom" can only be used to refer to people. But it is important to notice that "who" functions as a subject, while "whom" functions as the object of a verb or preposition. Let's take a look at two of the answers for comparison:

1.  So Baxter decided to let his best friend Max, who had a taste for long-legged, romantic women, fix him up with a blind date. - "Who" refers to Max. Max had a taste for long-legged women. "Who" is the subject.

2.  Max, whom Bax had known for 15 years, spent a great deal of time calling 976 “party line” numbers.  - "Whom" refers to Max. But the subject is Bax. Bax had known Max for 15 years. "Whom" is the object.
