<p>In winter, when the ponds froze over, the villagers went skating, <strong><em>and the most venturesome of whom played chase and executed</em></strong>__ complicated turns on the ice.</p>

<p>(A) "
(B) the most venturesome played chase and executed
(C) in that the most venturesome played chase and executed
(D) with the most venturesome playing chase and executing
(E) accordingly the most venturesome played chase and executed</p>

<p>The answer is D.
I got the answer correct but I had a question.
The original question says "the most venturesome of whom"; i guess the problem is "whom" and that "whom" should be "them," right?</p>

<p>Can you guys also give me some example sentences where "of whom" is used correctly?</p>

<p>ex) The room was full of youngsters, of whom three were playing soccer.
(This is a personal example; isn't this used correctly?)</p>

<p>I think that "of whom" can only be used right after the comma.... isn't that right?</p>

<p>thanx in advance :)</p>

<p>just fyi, who/whom isn’t tested on the SAT. so don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>but in general, I tend to intuitively know when to use who or whom, lol. I tried looking up the guide online on google but it didn’t make too much sense xD</p>

<p>to whom are you talking to?
who are you talking to?</p>

<p>so i guess “who” is the subject? and whom is the object [that you are talking to]?</p>

<p>not sure about that explanation xD</p>

<p>uh i wasn’t really talking about who/whom though :)</p>

<p>fyi, it would be “to whom are you talking?” because this sentence derived from “you are talking to whom” where “whom” would be the object of “to.”</p>

<p>yeah but thanx anyways !</p>
