In which sentence is the pronoun whoever correctly used?

Whoever produced that TV program on whales did a great job.


I will watch whoever the TV station chooses as host of the new nature program.


Visit the Web site of whoever the authorities list as an expert on whales.

Answer: A) Whoever produced that TV program on whales did a great job.

Step-by-step explanation: it is common to be confused with the use of the words "whoever" and "whomever." Whoever is used as the subject of the phrase, while "whomever" is always the object. From the given sentences, the only one that uses the pronoun "whoever" correctly is option A, because "whoever" is the subject of the sentence. All the other options are incorrect, because they should use "whomever" (because it represents the object).
