Question and options
Which of the following phrases should replace the phrase underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? (The underlined phrase is shown in square brackets.)
[Whom did you intend] to offer the job besides the two young boys?
- Who are you intending to
- Whom do you intend to
- Who do you intend for
- No correction required
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - No correction required
'Whom' is correct as the object of 'offer' (offer whom the job), and the past 'did you intend' is fine. The options introduce 'who' in an object slot or the wrong preposition 'for'. No correction required.
