Which sentence uses who or whom correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The coach, whom the players trust, announced the team.
Answer: whom the players trust. Why not the others: In each wrong option 'whom' is the subject of 'is trusted', 'trusts' or 'announced', where 'who' is needed.
- Step 1: Whom is the object form; who is the subject form.
- Step 2: In 'the players trust ___', the blank is the object, so whom fits; in the others the blank is the subject of a verb, so it should be who.
