The people ______ were at the demonstration were from all sections of society.
Options:
(A) whose
(B) which
(C) who
(D) whom
Official Answer Key:
C
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
The blank is the SUBJECT of the verb "were" (the people [who] were at the demonstration). A relative pronoun in the subject position, referring to a person/people, must be "who". "Whom" (D) is the object form and is wrong here because the pronoun is not the object of any verb/preposition in the clause. "Whose" (A) is possessive, and "which" (B) is used for things, not people. Hence (C) is correct.
