Help the theatrical ghost hunter complete her spooky field report by choosing the correct word for each blank.

"It was only after the candles mysteriously blew out that the phantom finally made its presence known. Furthermore, it was the skeptical cameraman, not the psychic, who fainted first!"

"It was only after the candles mysteriously blew out that the phantom finally made its presence known. Furthermore, it was the skeptical cameraman, not the psychic, who fainted first!"

was: The past tense "was" is required to match the past tense verbs in the rest of the sentence ("blew out", "made", "fainted").

that: In an it-cleft sentence focusing on an adverbial time phrase, we must use the relative pronoun "that" to connect the clauses. Using "when" is a very common mistake!

who: The cameraman is the subject of the verb "fainted," so the subject relative pronoun "who" is correct.
