Explanation:

Question 1

To choose the correct relative pronoun, we analyze the sentence structure. The relative pronoun refers to "the boy" and is the object of the verb "chose" (Coach Willis chose the boy as the lead). "Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition when referring to people. "Who" is a subject pronoun, "that" can be used for people/things but "whom" is more appropriate here as an object, and "whose" shows possession. So the correct pronoun is "whom".

Proper nouns like "Six Flags" (the name of a place) should be capitalized. Also, a sentence should end with a punctuation mark (a period here). So we correct the capitalization of "six flags" to "Six Flags" and add a period at the end.

A sentence must have a subject and a predicate. The phrase "Went to the store after dinner last night" has a verb ("went") but no subject (we don't know who went). So it's a fragment. To correct it, we add a subject, e.g., "I went to the store after dinner last night."

Answer:

c. whom
