PSAT Writing and Language Question 587: Answer and Explanation

Question: 587

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. whom walked
• C. who walking
• D. whom walking

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) When deciding between who and whom, remember to rewrite the clause using he or him. We would say he walked rather than him walked, so we must use who. Eliminate choices (B) and (D) accordingly. "Who walking" would leave a fragment—and a rough one at that—so choice (A), "who walked," is the correct answer.
