readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
who
B
whom
C
which
D
whose
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. This question tests possessive relative pronoun.
- Context clues: The relative pronoun must show possession of "work."
- Meaning: "Whose" is the possessive form for both people and things.
- Verify: "The researcher whose work revolutionized" correctly shows possession.
💡 Strategy: Use "whose" for possession, even when referring to things.
Choice A is incorrect because "who" doesn't show possession. Choice B is incorrect because "whom" doesn't show possession. Choice C is incorrect because "which" doesn't show possession.
