Hi All,

In the below Q#194 of O-10, although stand alone "D"(the correct answer) looks fine, but can somebody please tell why option "B" is wrong ?

Presenters at the seminar, one who is blind, will demonstrate adaptive equipment that allows visually impaired people to use computers.

a. one who
b. one of them who
c. and one of them who
d. one of whom
e. one of which

Thanks
Mohit

This question has been solved before. Here is a good explanation by Verbal Tutor Danielle.
Danielle wrote:B is not correct. This example question tests your knowledge of who and whom and when to use them. Here is the rule:

Who is always the subject of a sentence, i.e. Who let the dogs out?
Whom is always the object of the sentence, i.e. Mary did not know to whom to send the invitation

Here is another way to explain it that is cool and that I found on a
grammar website:

Rule Use the he/him method to decide which word is correct.
he = who
him = whom
Examples Who/Whom wrote the letter?
He wrote the letter. Therefore, who is correct.
For who/whom should I vote?
Should I vote for him? Therefore, whom is correct.
We all know who/whom pulled that prank.
This sentence contains two clauses: We all know and who/whom pulled that prank. We are interested in the second clause because it contains the who/whom. He pulled that prank. Therefore, who is correct.
(Are you starting to sound like a hooting owl yet?)
We want to know on who/whom the prank was pulled.
This sentence contains two clauses: We want to know and the prank was pulled on who/whom. Again, we are interested in the second clause because it contains the who/whom. The prank was pulled on him. Therefore, whom is correct.

Excellent explanation mals thanks. I have a small query using the he/him rule in the question in hand....

Who/whom is blind ?

He is blind. So above question should be "Who is blind ?"

Then what is wrong in option "B" i.e. "one of them who"...

Im so sorry mohit i forgot to post the remaining part of the message :oops:
Danielle wrote:Well, this is one is not so simple because it has the idiom 'one of'. In this case instead of he/him, you can use they/them. It's the same thing -- it will help you chose whether it is object of subject.

Presenters, one of _____ is blind. (they/them?)

Presenters, one of them is blind. Therefore use whom.


So basically whom is an object pronoun and who is a subject pronoun.

Since this a 'one of' constructions we try the 'they/them' trick. This is a very helpful trick to decide if you want to use a object or subject pronoun.

Thanks Mals.

Does it mean that after "of", "to" etc. we have to always use "whom" and not "who". Is there any exception to this ?
