PSAT Writing and Language Question 541: Answer and Explanation

Question: 541

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. who represent the accused or who
• C. whom represent the accused or who
• D. who represent the accused or whom

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

(B) When deciding on who versus whom, remember to rewrite the sentence using he or him. In this case, one would say he represents rather than him represents. Recall that he = who and him = whom, so one must use who here. Choices (A), (C), and (D) all have at least one instance of misusing whom, so choice (B) is the only possible answer.
