Question

The people \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\) were at the demonstration were from all sections of society.

• A. whose
• B. which
• C. who
• D. whom

Hint:

Use "who" for people (subject), "whom" for people (object), "which" for things, and "whose" for possession.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The blank requires a relative pronoun referring to "people". Among the options, the correct relative pronoun to refer to humans (subjects of the verb "were") is "who".
- "whose" indicates possession → incorrect.
- "which" refers to non-living things → incorrect.
- "whom" is used for objects, not subjects → incorrect.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: \[ \text{"The people who were at the demonstration were from all sections of society."} \]
