<p>7.) he interviewed several candidates (who he thought) had the experience and qualifications he required. </p>
<p>A). Who he thought
B). Whom he thought </p>
<p>The answer is A because the subject of the verb had must be who</p>
<p>I thought it would be B because who should be in the objective case.. </p>
<p>Could anybody help me out with the diff of who and whom?</p>
<p>Who/whom is NOT tested on the SAT-1. Ever. (It should be “who,” though.)</p>
<p>To figure out whether it’s who or whom focus on the clause</p>
<p>… (who/whom he thought) had the experience …</p>
<p>What is the “subject” of the verb “had”?</p>
<p>Clearly the subject is the pronoun the refers to the candidates. The subject form of the pronoun is who.</p>
<p>What about the sentence:</p>
<p>He interviewed several candidates (who/whom he thought) everyone liked.</p>
<p>Here the subject of liked is everyone. How about the “object” of the verb liked? Clearly the object is the pronoun that refers to one of the candidates. The object from of the pronoun is whom. So: He interviewed several candidates whom he thought everyone liked.</p>
<p>In this sentence the clause “he thought” can easily mislead. It’s however not relevant to the who/whom question.</p>
