Option 3 : (C)

The correct answer is option 3.

  • Whomsoever is an object pronoun and works like him, her and them.
  • Whosoever is a subject pronoun and works like he, she and they.
  • The given sentence states that the subject 'him', has set apart one evening of each week if anyone chose to visit him.
  • In such sentences we always say if they/he/she chose to visit him and not if them/him/her chose to visit him.
  • So, we must use 'whosoever' to maintain the subject-verb agreement.
  • Therefore, the error lies in part C of the sentence.

The correct sentence will be: One evening of each week was set apart by him for the reception of whosoever chose to visit him.
