Group of answer choices

Who is Jonathan talking to?

Melanie is the lady whom told me to have a seat.

He is the young man who, you recall, is a 19-year-old who was involved in the motorcycle accident.

The question is to be given to who?

Answer 1

The sentence using "who" correctly is:

He is the young man who, you recall, is a 19-year-old who was involved in the motorcycle accident.

In this sentence, "who" is used correctly as the subject of the clause.

The other sentences have issues:

1. "Who is Jonathan talking to?" - While commonly used in conversation, it is technically considered informal; "to whom is Jonathan talking?" is the grammatically correct form.

2. "Melanie is the lady whom told me to have a seat." - This is incorrect as it should use "who" (subject) instead of "whom".

3. "The question is to be given to who?" - This also should use "whom" since it's the object of the preposition "to".

So, the only correct usage is in the third example.
