Hi there!

The correct usage of the word "whom" is From whom did you receive the excellent resume. All other options are best substituted with the word "who".

Hope this helps!

The sentence in which the pronoun "whom" is used correctly is the following:

From whom did you receive the excellent resume?

In this sentence, the preposition "from" is used and, after it, "who" has to become "whom". It wouldn't be correct to say "from who..." because "whom" here has the role of the indirect object and not of the subject.

In the other three sentences the pronoun has the role of the subject and so the form " who" should be used:

  • Who shall I say is calling?
  • Who will drive me to the interview?
  • He is the one who will get the job.
