Use the appropriate relative pronoun to complete the sentence and mark your answer in the response sheet.
That is the girl __________ we met yesterday.
Answer: B
The relative pronoun is whom: That is the girl whom we met yesterday.
In the relative clause, we is the subject and the girl is the object of met. The object form of the relative pronoun for a person is whom, and that case form is what the question tests.
Who is the subject form, though it is common in informal speech. Which is used for things, not people. That would also be acceptable in everyday English in a defining clause like this, as would leaving the pronoun out, but the key takes whom, the form a grammar question about pronoun case expects.
