Question

after a lengthy deliberation, the council gave a list of a dozen applicants whom the ceo could consider for the vacant position. which choice makes the sentence grammatically acceptable? a no change b which c who d that

Explanation:

In the sentence, the relative pronoun refers to "applicants" (people). "Whom" is used as an object, but here the pronoun is the subject of the clause "the CEO could consider...". "Who" is used as a subject for people, while "which" is for non - people, and "that" is more common in restrictive clauses or for non - people in some cases. So we need to use "who" to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Answer:

C. who
