GATE Electrical 2021 | GA Question: 1

Question

The people _______________ were at the demonstration were from all sections of society.

• A. whose
• B. which
• C. who
• D. whom

Answer 1

To refer to “people” which is plural we must use “who” and not “whom”.

“whose” is used to refer to some object or property being associated with a person which is not applicable here.

“which” and “that” are the relative pronouns for animals and objects (not humans).

Correct option: C
