How is the underlined pronoun in the sentence used? Whom are you calling? A. direct object B. predicate nominative C. object of a preposition D. subject

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

What is underlined? I can't see it.

OpenStudy (jacobciezki):

whom

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

Well then, what part of speech is "whom?"

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

It is a noun. So, if it is a noun, and it is the main noun of the sentence, then what would it be? It is not B or A. I hope this helps! It is easy to see what the answer is.

OpenStudy (jacobciezki):

c

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

Hmm. Tell me, what is an object of a preposition?
