Question

A sentence has been divided into four parts and marked a, b, c and d. One of these parts contains a mistake in grammar, idiom or syntax. Identify that part and mark it as the answer.
Pakistan was the team / whom most people thought / would win the World Cup / held in 1987.

• A. Pakistan was the team
• B. whom most people thought
• C. would win the World Cup
• D. held in 1987

Hint:

Use “who/whom” for people, and “which/that” for animals or things.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Here, the relative pronoun should be “which” or “that” instead of “whom” because it refers to the noun “team” (non-person). Correct sentence: “Pakistan was the team which most people thought would win the World Cup held in 1987.”
