The use of the pronoun “which” is incorrect here as it is used for groups or things. The correct word here would be “who” as it refers to people.
|
Who and whom are used mainly for people. However, these pronouns can also be used to refer to animals that are mentioned by name and seen as persons. Ex: The musician who wrote this song is Canadian. The correct sentence will be: I know the cobbler who mends the shoes outside the gate of our colony. Hence, the error is in option 4. |
