Question 1 Report

From the words or groups of words lettered A to D, chose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.
There were five boys.....

which two were beaten

Whom two were beaten

two of whom were beaten

of whom two of them were beaten

Answer Details

The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "two of whom were beaten". This option is the most grammatically correct because it uses the phrase "of whom" to refer back to the boys, and specifies that two of them were beaten. The other options either use incorrect grammar or incorrect pronouns. "Which two were beaten" is incorrect because "which" is used to refer to things, not people. "Whom two were beaten" is also incorrect because "whom" is an object pronoun, and the boys are the subject of the sentence. "Of whom two of them were beaten" is redundant because "of them" is unnecessary after "whom".
