Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
The country has at least twenty colleges whom only six are officially recognized.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct option is D because 'which' should be used when referring to inanimate objects or animals, while 'whom' is used for people. In this sentence, the subject is 'colleges,' inanimate objects. Additionally, the option correctly maintains the plural verb 'are' to agree with 'six'.
