______ is going to take the responsibility for this failure?

Options:

Whom

Who

Which

Whose

Correct Answer:

Who

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:

Who

The sentence would read: "Who is going to take the responsibility for this failure?"

Explanation: The word "who" is used to ask about the identity of a person who will take responsibility for the failure. It's the correct pronoun for asking about a person. The other options don't fit the context:

  • Whom: This pronoun is used in formal English as the object of a verb or preposition. It's not suitable for the subject position in this sentence.

  • Which: This pronoun is used to ask about choices or options, not about a person's identity or responsibility.

  • Whose: This pronoun is used to ask about possession or ownership, not about a person's responsibility for a failure.
