Revised Sentence: "Whom did you ask about the interpretation of the poem 'Ulysses' that Jason asked about since your vacation is different from Ms. Shapiro's?"

Changes Made:

  1. "who" to "whom" - "Whom" is the correct word to use in this context because it functions as the object of the verb “ask.” "Who" is used as a subject, while "whom" is used as an object.

  2. Added single quotes around "Ulysses" - This clarifies that "Ulysses" is the title of a poem.

  3. Added "that" before "Jason asked" - This makes it clear that the clause describes the noun "poem," improving the clarity of the sentence.

  4. Changed "than" to "from" - "Different from" is the correct idiomatic expression rather than "different than."

  5. Added an apostrophe to "Ms. Shapiro's" - This indicates possession, suggesting it is Ms. Shapiro's vacation that is being referenced.

These changes enhance grammatical accuracy, clarity, and adherence to conventions in English usage.
