    Question

    In the following question, the given sentence has four parts marked P, Q, R, and S. Choose the part of the sentence with the error and mark as your answer. If there is no error, mark 'No error (S)' as your answer.
    Can you tell me (P)/ the name of the person (Q)/ whom wrote the book? (R)/ No error (S)

    A.

    P

    B.

    Q

    C.

    R

    D.

    S

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    Error Identification: The word "whom" is incorrect because it is used for the object of a verb or preposition, whereas in this sentence, it should be "who", the subject.
    Grammatical Explanation: "Who" is used when referring to the subject of a clause, while "whom" is used for the object. Here, "who" is required because the person wrote the book (subject).
    Corrected sentence: "Can you tell me the name of the person who wrote the book?"
    Explanation: Since "who" refers to the person performing the action of writing, the subject form "who" must be used.
