Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
One morning I went out with my cousin which is the lawyer.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e who is a.
- Relative pronouns: “Who" is used for people whereas “which” is used for things.
- Also, the indefinite article "a" is used when we don’t talk about any specific person or thing, whereas the definite article "The" is used to talk about a specific person or thing.
- So, ‘who’ instead of ‘which’ and ‘a’ instead of ‘the’ will be used because the subject is a person and we are talking about a professional in general.
- So, the correct sentence would be: One morning I went out with my cousin who is a lawyer.
