Since the reference is to an inanimate object, the window, third person neuter singular pronoun "it" must be used.  Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

If the pronoun is receiving the action, it is called a direct object. Object pronouns are always used when the antecedent is a direct object. Here, the action of listening is directed towards the news. The object pronoun for third person neuter singular is "it". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

If the pronoun is receiving the action, it is called a direct object. Object pronouns are always used when the antecedent is a direct object. Here, the action of cleaning is received by the window.

The given statement is a question. Thus, the answer must be a 'Wh' word. The 'Wh' word must fit in the sentence and must correctly refer to the object 'books'. It must indicate a choice of books, of which the subject likes the best

Option C - what and Option D - such are exclamatory pronouns. 
For example:
What a sunny day! 
Such a beautiful painting!
Options A and B are wrong because which and whose are interrogative pronouns.

Option A - what and Option B - which are the interrogative pronouns that can be used for objects.
For example:
What kind of flower is this?
Which shirt do you want to wear?
Options C and D are wrong because who and whom are used only for people.

Choice D is correct as the pronoun identifies that the dress is elegent. Option A is incorrect as it asks about the elegant dress. Option B questions the reason for the dress being elegant. Option C denotes time. Hence Option D is correct. 

The correct answer is Option D.

The correct answer is Option B.

Interrogative pronouns are used for asking questions. ‘Who’, ‘whom’, ‘whose’ and ‘which’ are interrogative pronouns. We use ‘who’ and ‘whom’ to ask questions about the people. ‘Who’ is used in the place of the subject of the question, like in “Who are they?”. While ‘whom’ is used in the place of the object of the sentence, like in “To whom is Dad talking?”. Since the given sentence doesn’t ask a question about the people, both ‘who’ and ‘whom’ are unsuitable. Thus options A and D are incorrect. On the other hand, we use ‘whose’ to ask to whom something belongs to. Since the given sentence focuses on the person the bag belongs to, ‘whose’ is the apt answer. Therefore option B is correct. ‘Which’ cannot be used in the sentence because it is used to ask someone to name a particular thing, which is not the case here. For example, “Which do you prefer?” Thus option C is incorrect.
