Who vs. Whom

Here's what legendary Kansas editing professor John Bremner has to say about who and whom:

"The objective case of who is whom. The usage is tricky, however, when the pronoun looks as if it should be objective but isn’t. This, for example, is wrong: He knows a girl whom he thinks will go. Whom should be who, the subject of will go, not the object of thinks.

"When in doubt, substitute a personal pronoun for the relative pronoun. You wouldn’t say, He thinks her will go.

"This, too, is wrong: Give it to whomever wants it. Whomever should be whoever, the subject of wants, not the object of to. The object of to is the whole clause, whoever wants it. The principle is that pronouns agree with their antecedents in person, number and gender, but take their case from the clause in which they stand.”

Now answer the following:

Hint: Is the pronoun you want a subject (who) or an object (whom) of the italicized clause?

1. The woman (who, whom) rented the room left the window open.

2. (Who, Whom) do you wish to see?

3. After the crap game, Nathan was confused about (who, whom) owed him money.

4. Nathan wouldn’t tell Miss Adelaide (who, whom) he invited.

5. (Who, Whom) did the mayor name to her campaign committee?

6. The jockey (who, whom) the Thoroughbred Association said had thrown the race was cleared today by the Racing Commission.

7. Give the ticket to (whoever, whomever) arrives first.
