Question

pablo picasso, who is best known for his stylized paintings, also excelled in clay sculpture. which choice makes the sentence grammatically acceptable? f no change g picasso, whom h picasso who j picasso,

Explanation:

To determine the correct choice, we analyze the sentence structure. The phrase "who is best known for his stylized paintings" is a non - restrictive relative clause, which provides additional information about Pablo Picasso. In non - restrictive relative clauses, we need to set off the clause with commas.

• Option F: "Picasso, who" has the correct comma placement before the relative pronoun "who" for the non - restrictive clause. The relative pronoun "who" is used correctly as it refers to the subject (Picasso) of the clause.
• Option G: "whom" is incorrect here because "whom" is used as an object pronoun, but in the clause "is best known...", the pronoun should be the subject, so "who" (subject pronoun) is needed, not "whom".
• Option H: Without the comma before "who", the clause becomes restrictive, which changes the meaning (it would imply there are multiple Picassos and we are referring to the one who is best known for paintings). But we know there is only one Pablo Picasso, so a non - restrictive clause is appropriate, and thus the comma is necessary.
• Option J: Removing the relative clause completely ("Picasso,") makes the sentence lack the additional information about Picasso's fame for his paintings, and it also creates a less complete and less meaningful sentence.

Answer:

F. NO CHANGE
