Choose the grammatically correct sentence:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → The girl who lives in the flat below ours has been picked for the state kho-kho team.
“Who” for people:
- “Who” is used for people.
- Here the word is the subject of “lives”: the girl lives in the flat below ours. So the correct word is who.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: The girl which lives in the flat below ours has been picked for the state kho-kho team. — Incorrect. “Which” is used for things and animals, not for a person like “the girl”.
Option 2: The girl whom lives in the flat below ours has been picked for the state kho-kho team. — Incorrect. “Whom” is the object form. Here the word is the subject of “lives”, so it must be “who”.
Option 3: The girl whose lives in the flat below ours has been picked for the state kho-kho team. — Incorrect. “Whose” shows that something belongs to someone, so it needs a noun after it (whose bag). Here no noun follows it.
