Hello! Today we are going to look at four multiple choice questions regarding relative clauses. Let's break down each one to find the correct relative pronoun.
Relative Clauses Practice
Let's start with the first question. 'Hoa is talking about the author blank book is one of the best-sellers.'
Question 1
Hoa is talking about the author ______ book is one of the best-sellers.
A. whom | B. whose | C. that | D. who
Notice the relationship between 'the author' and the 'book'. The book belongs to the author. In English, we use 'whose' to show possession in relative clauses.
So for question one, the correct answer is option B.
Moving on to question two. 'Her brother bought all the books blank are necessary for the next course.'
Question 2
Her brother bought all the books ______ are necessary for the next course.
A. that | B. what | C. those | D. whose
The antecedent here is 'the books', which are things. We need a relative pronoun that can act as the subject of the clause for a non-human noun. 'That' is the perfect fit here.
Therefore, for question two, the correct answer is option A.
