Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
In the city of Corinth, there once lived a wonderful musician _____ name was Arion. No _____ person could play the lyre or sing so sweetly as he; and the songs which he composed were famous.
Answer: C
The pair is whose, other.
'A wonderful musician whose name was Arion' needs the possessive 'whose'. 'No other person could play the lyre' is the correct phrase.
'Who's' means 'who is', and 'whom' and 'which' do not suit a person's name. 'Another', 'any' and 'some' do not fit after 'No'.
The first blank needs a possessive word because it is followed by the noun 'name': 'whose name was Arion'. The second blank needs a word that follows 'No', and 'No other person' is the natural phrase. 'Who's name' would be an error, because 'who's' stands for 'who is'.
