Question

Identify the correct relative pronoun for the following sentence.

I’ve lost the notes ______ I took in that meeting.

Question 4 options:

A.) That.


B.) Who.


C.) Whichever.


D.) Whom.

Answer 1

That

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find our answer by process of elimination:

Let's fill in the blank to each question and see how each sounds and how it relates to the correct relative pronoun.

I’ve lost the notes that I took in that meeting.

"That" seems to sound alright.

I’ve lost the notes who I took in that meeting.

"Who" does not sound right.

I’ve lost the notes whichever I took in that meeting.

"Whichever" does not sound right.

I’ve lost the notes whom I took in that meeting.

"Whom" does not sound right.

Since all others do not sound right we can conclude that "That" is the correct answer.

Check:

A relative pronoun is a type of pronoun that often introduces dependent (or relative) clauses in sentences. They also can stand alone as the subject or object of a sentence. There is a specific list of relative pronouns, and here they are: who, whoever, whom, whomever, that, which, when, where, and whose.

In that case, we can see that the word that is a relative pronoun. Thus, our answer of "That" is correct. Also it refers to a thing not a person.
