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.
