Pronoun Usage in Sentence Completion

The pronoun 'who' is correct because it serves as the SUBJECT of the clause 'who the country will decide is to be considered responsible.' The entire clause 'who the country will decide is to be considered responsible' is the object of 'say,' but within that nested structure, 'who' is the subject of 'is.' The nominative form is required for the subject position.

The pronoun 'whom' is correct because it serves as the OBJECT of 'hold' in the clause 'whom the country will hold responsible.' The verb 'hold' requires an object (the person being held responsible), so the objective case 'whom' is required. This is distinct from the previous question where the pronoun was the subject of its own clause.

After a preposition like 'to', we use the objective case pronoun. 'Whom' is the object of the preposition 'to' in this question structure.

The verb 'see' requires an object, so we use the objective case 'whom' rather than the subjective 'who'. The pronoun functions as the object of the infinitive 'to see'.

The verb 'visit' requires an object in objective case. 'Whom' functions as the object of the infinitive phrase 'to visit'.

In this structure, the pronoun is actually the subject of the embedded clause 'who is best qualified', not the object of 'believe'. Therefore, the subjective case 'who' is correct.

'To whom it may concern' is a standard formal salutation. 'Whom' follows the preposition 'to' and is in the objective case.

While the entire phrase follows the preposition 'to', the pronoun itself functions as the subject of 'is waiting' within the embedded clause. Therefore, the subjective case 'whoever' is correct.

In the relative clause 'who I believe robbed the National Bank', 'who' serves as the subject of the verb 'robbed', not as the object of 'believe'.

He is the correct answer.

After the linking verb 'was', traditional formal English uses the subjective case 'she' as a predicate nominative, equivalent to saying 'She was the one I was thinking about.'

 The 'be' verb in the end is understood.... Harvey is taller than I am.

Frank loves Harvey more than I (love him).

In formal comparisons with 'than', the subjective case 'I' is correct when the verb 'am' is implied: 'She is happier than I [am].'

In this comparative structure, 'us' functions as the object of the implied verb 'affect': 'Government regulations affect Russians more than [they affect] us.'

In this comparison, the verb 'are' is implied after the blank: 'Are the Russians as free as we [are]?' Therefore, the subjective case 'we' is correct.

In this comparative structure, 'I' is correct as the subject of the implied verb 'obey': 'He obeys his mother quicker than I [obey his mother].'

In 'as...as' comparisons, use the subjective case. 'They' is correct because it's the subject of the implied verb '(are)' - the full structure would be 'as rich as they are'. 'Them' is objective case and would be incorrect here.

In 'than' comparisons showing quality/degree, use subjective case. 'We' is correct because it's the subject of the implied verb '(are)' - the full sentence would be 'than we are'. 'Us' is objective case and incorrect.

In 'as...as' comparisons, use subjective case. 'He' is correct because it's the subject of the implied verb '(can/drinks)' - the full structure would be 'as fast as he can'. 'Him' is objective case and would be incorrect.

She loves her mother as much as I (love her mother).She loves her mother as much as me (she loves both of us equally).She loves her mother as much as us (she loves us equally).She loves her mother as much as them (she loves them equally).Thus any of the given pronouns can correctly fit in.

In 'more...than' comparisons, use subjective case. 'She' is correct because it's the subject of the implied verb '(is)' - the full structure would be 'more truthful than she is'. 'Her' is objective case and incorrect.

After 'than' when comparing how subjects are treated, use objective case. 'Them' is correct because it's the object of 'blame' - you blame 'them', not 'they'. The structure is 'blame me more often than (you blame) them'.

In 'than' comparisons of ability/action, use subjective case. 'We' is correct because it's the subject of the implied verb '(do)' - the full structure would be 'faster than we (do)'. 'Us' is objective case and incorrect.

Use 'whom' as the object of a verb. Here, 'whom' is the object of 'have chosen' - someone is being chosen, not doing the choosing. 'Who' is subjective case and would only be correct as the sentence subject.
