English

Answer: In this case, both pronouns can be used to complete the sentence as both terms grammatically make sense, however whom is the prefered pronoun.  

Explanation:

The difference between “who” and “whom” is the same as the difference between “I” and “me;” “he” and “him;” “she” and “her;” etc. Who, like other pronouns such as I he, and she, is a subject. So, it is the person performing the action of the verb. On the other hand, whom, acts like me, him, and her in a sentence. It is the object. Therefore, it is the person to/about/for whom the action is being done.

But what does that mean? “Who,” the subjective pronoun, is the doer of an action. For example, “That’s the girl who scored the goal.” It is the subject of “scored” because the girl was doing the scoring. Then, “whom,” as the objective pronoun, receives the action. For instance, “Whom do you like best?” It is the object of “like”.

Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.

Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

Read the passage.

“Remembrance” is actually a poem that was written by Emily Brontë. And based on the passage above taken from this poem, how the phrases “divinest anguish” and <span>“rapturous pain” pointed out the complexity of the feelings of the speaker here is that the phrases are contradictions. Notice that rapturous means expressing great pleasure, and this is a contradiction of pain. Hope this helps.</span>

Leto [7]
These contradictory descriptions can be reconciled because they capture both sides of what Hester has become because of her experiences. She is seen as pure, warm, and tender, because she has turned her life around. She is pleased to have her daughter, she helps others in the community, and people have begun to see her as a better person. 

She is also seen as cold, because she has to carry the burden of holding a secret (the identity of her husband), and cannot be with the man she wants to be with.
