Which part is incorrect in the following sentence?I found this bangle (A) while digging (B) in the backyard. (C) I don't know who it belonged to. (D)
Correct answer: D. I don't know who it belonged to
- A. I found this bangle
- B. While digging
- C. In the backyard
- D. I don't know who it belonged to
Explanation
It should be 'to whom it belonged'. The sentence should read: I don't know to whom it belonged. When the relative pronoun is the object of the relative clause, we use whom instead of who. Note that, in this case, the preposition normally goes before whom.
