D) to whoever she thought would have eaten it
E) to whomever she thought would have eaten it</p>
<p>I think it's either (A) or (C); please explain the whoever and whomever thing!</p>
<p>Pleeease help me answer these questions, Thank You!</p>
<p>Whoever refers to a subject. Whomever refers to an object.</p>
<p>She gave a piece to whomever would eat it. “Whomever” in the previous phrase is in the subject form. Therefore, it is incorrect, and must be replaced with “Whoever”.</p>
<p>Want an elaboration on the other 3 questions as well? Just ask. :)</p>
<p>1- You can get to the answer through the process of elimination:
A) No, this isn’t the correct sentence fragmenting when it comes to commas.
B) Same as A
C) Correct
D) We are not linking two different clauses with “and”. On the contrary, the second clause is dependant on the first, and cannot convey a meaning without it.
E) Which one exactly? What one is it talking about?</p>
<p>Obviously, only “one of which” is the only reasonable answer to go with here. Might seem ambiguous or awkward in daily speech, but this is what works with your given choices.</p>
<p>2- In the belief that foreign languages aided him in learning…
I’ve underlined the verb. The first clause is referring to something that occurred in the past, naturally, the second clause must also refer to the past.</p>
<p>“In the belief that studying aided in success, I worked very hard”.</p>
<p>3- The last part of the sentence isn’t a complementary portion of it. It’s part of the main thing. Why? Because without it, the sentence seems awkward. “Duke’s rubber is one of those adorable dog toys”. Why was “those” used? What is “those”'s function in this sentence? Had “those” been omitted, it would have been advisable to go with B instead of A. However, as a conclusion, “that” functions more accordingly with regard to this sentence than “which”, which again I repeat, defines a complementary phrase coming after it. (One that can be omitted, without affecting the sentence main idea).</p>
<p>Deborah gave a piece of birthday cake [to whomever she thought would eat it.]</p>
<p>A) to whomever she thought would eat it
B) to whomever she thought would like to eat it
C) to whoever she thought would eat it
D) to whoever she thought would have eaten it
E) to whomever she thought would have eaten it</p>
<p>The answer is c).</p>
<p>Strip the sentence to its essence:</p>
<p>Deborah gave cake to [whomever/whoever] would eat it.</p>
<p>The way to figure this out is to look at the phrase following the “to”:</p>
<p>[whomever/whoever] would eat it.</p>
<p>So we need a “subject” for “would eat it” … and that’s whoever.</p>
<p>How about:
Deborah gave cake to [whomever/whoever] she liked.</p>
<p>Here in the clause [whomever/whoever] she liked, “she” is the subject, and whomever is the object.</p>
