The thief, who was eventually found, was his wife (C)/ No error (D) Correct Answer B
The correct option is 2 i.e. B.
- In the B part of the text, the use of the relative pronoun ‘whom’ is incorrect.
- ‘Whom,’ is generally used in formal conversation to refer to a person or persons. However, the statement is not in a formal tone and therefore ‘who’ is a more suitable option to use. It is common to use ‘who’.
- The correct statement would be: The officer is the only person ‘who’ can help him out.
