How is the underlined pronoun used in the sentence? Whom did he always ask for advice after that? Us! A. subject B. possessive C. direct object D. indirect object

OpenStudy (yinshy):

Whom

OpenStudy (yinshy):

not C or A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is underlined?

OpenStudy (yinshy):

whom

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Actually, I wouldn't eliminate those quite yet. The topic of the sentence is the subject.

OpenStudy (yinshy):

realy?

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Yeah. So the sentence here is all about the person who "asked for advice after that", which is referred to as "whom."

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Or rather, inquired as "whom."

OpenStudy (yinshy):

ohhh ok

OpenStudy (anitas.):

which one would you say is the most correct?

OpenStudy (yinshy):

i kind of get it

OpenStudy (yinshy):

A or D

OpenStudy (anitas.):

I would say that D would be correct because WHOM is an indirect object.

OpenStudy (yinshy):

thats what i thought

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

You're both correct, good job guys.

OpenStudy (anitas.):

yes.. i thought you would know;D

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

OpenStudy (yinshy):
