The man ____ got my phone back was poor and homeless.a)that Ib)whom Ic...
The correct answer is option 'C': from whom.
Explanation:
In this sentence, we are talking about a specific man who got my phone back. We need to choose the correct relative pronoun to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about this man.
Let's analyze the options:
a) "that"
- "That" is used to refer to objects or animals, not people. Therefore, it is not appropriate in this context.
b) "whom"
- "Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition in formal English. While it is grammatically correct, it sounds a bit formal and old-fashioned. It is not commonly used in everyday speech.
c) "from whom"
- "From whom" is the correct choice here. "Whom" is used as the object of a preposition, and in this case, the preposition "from" is used to show the source or origin of something. Therefore, "from whom" correctly introduces the relative clause and indicates that the man is the source or origin of the action of getting the phone back.
d) "who I"
- "Who I" is incorrect because "who" is used as the subject of a clause, and in this case, we need a pronoun that functions as the object of the verb "got".
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C': from whom.
