Choose the option that best complete the gap (s) My father told me to take the money from .....it

Analyze the question

The sentence is: "My father told me to take the money from ..... it." We need the correct relative pronoun and verb form to fill the gap.

Explain the concept

After the preposition "from," we need a noun clause: "whoever/whomever + verb." The case of the pronoun depends on its role inside the clause, not on the preposition before it.

• In "…whoever offers it," the pronoun is the subject of the verb "offers" (who offers it?). So the subject form whoever is needed.
• "Whomever" would only be correct if the pronoun were the object within its own clause (e.g., "whomever you meet").

The verb must also agree with a singular subject, so "offers" (not "offer") is correct.

Solution, option by option

• A. whomever offers: wrong case. "Whomever" is the object form, but here the pronoun is the subject of "offers."
• B. whomsoever offer: wrong case, and "offer" does not agree with a singular subject.
• C. ever who offers: not a proper English construction.
• D. whoever offers: correct. The subject form "whoever" is used with the singular verb "offers."

Complete sentence: My father told me to take the money from whoever offers it.

Answer: D.

Tip: To choose between who/whoever and whom/whomever, ignore the preposition and look only at the clause. Replace the word with "he/she" (subject, so use who) or "him/her" (object, so use whom). Here, "he offers it" works, so the answer is whoever.
