Option 1 : smiled at whomever had walked in.

The correct answer is- 'smiled at whoever' should be there in place of 'smiled at whomever'

  • Who and whoever are subject pronouns. In sentences, they function the same way as I, he, she, we, and they.
  • Subject pronouns refer to the person or thing that is performing the action of a verb
  • .In contrast, Whom and whomever are object pronouns. They function the same way as me, him, her, us, and them.
  • An object pronoun can serve as the direct object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.
    • Example: I decided to buy a present for whomever I am assigned in the gift exchange program.

                                      Whoever brought these brownies to the party should be commended! 

The correct sentence is: 'An elderly man who had been mopping around the counter looked up from his tedious chore and smiled at whoever had walked in.'

In the following question the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find out which of the five combinations is correct. 1 - Elizabeth-Jane had perceived from Henchard's manner that in assenting to dance she had made a mistake of some kind. P - In her simplicity she did not know what it was till a hint from a nodding acquaintance enlightened her. Q - This made her very miserable, and she looked about for her mother; but Mrs. Henchard, who had less idea of conventionality than Elizabeth herself, had gone away, leaving her daughter to return at her own pleasure.  R - Thereupon her ears, cheeks, and chin glowed like live coals at the dawning of the idea that her tastes were not good enough for her position, and would bring her into disgrace.  S - As the Mayor's step-daughter, she learnt, she had not been quite in her place in treading a measure amid such a mixed throng as filled the dancing pavilion. 2 - The latter moved on into the dark dense old avenues, or rather vaults of living woodwork, which ran along the town boundary, and stood reflecting. ?
