Question

It is ______ whom we are looking for.

• A. him
• B. he
• C. your
• D. his

Answer 1

Answer:

B. he

In this sentence, "whom" is the object of the preposition "for." The word "whom" refers to the person being looked for, and as it is the object of the action, you need an object pronoun in the blank.

• "Him" is the correct object pronoun for a male person, which fits here because "whom" already serves as the object in the sentence.

• "He" is a subject pronoun, which would not fit here because the sentence needs an object pronoun, not a subject one.

• "Your" and "his" are possessive pronouns, which do not fit the context of the sentence, as you are referring to a person who is the object of the verb, not showing possession.
