Answer 2

Answer: À qui Vanessa et Richard parlent-ils de Mme.Boucher?

Step-by-step explanation:

Qui and à qui, while similar, are very different in use. Qui is used in sentences with direct objects. In the example given, Bridgette is looking for an object, so you would ask who is looking for un logement.

À qui more translates to "to who or to whom", and is used in sentences with indirect objects. The original statement says Vanessa and Richard are talking to Mme. Boucher, so you would ask "to who are they talking to?" or "who are they talking to?"
