    Question

    Select the option that will improve the given sentence by using the most appropriate pronoun.
    Pradeep, whom is a teacher, also works as a content writer.

    A.

    Pradeep, that is a teacher, also works as a content writer.

    B.

    Pradeep, who is a teacher, also works as a content writer.

    C.

    Pradeep, whose is a teacher, also works as a content writer.

    D.

    Pradeep, which is a teacher, also works as a content writer.

    Correct option is B

    The correct pronoun to improve the sentence is (b) "who."
    · Explanation: The correct relative pronoun for a person in a subject position is "who", not "whom."
    · The pronoun "who" is used when referring to the subject of the sentence.
    · "Whom" is incorrect here because it is used as an object pronoun. "Who" correctly describes Pradeep as the subject (the person) being referred to.
    · Example:
    · Correct: Pradeep, who is a teacher, also works as a content writer.
    · Incorrect: Pradeep, whom is a teacher, also works as a content writer.
    Meanings of the other options:
    · that: Incorrect because "that" is used for objects or non-specific references, not for people.
    · whose: Incorrect because "whose" indicates possession, which does not fit the context.
    · which: Incorrect because "which" refers to things, not people.
