Help Detective Barnaby complete his rather dramatic case notes by choosing the correct relative pronouns.
The butler, _________________________ alibi is extremely weak, was seen near the vault at midnight.
The mysterious guest, to _________________________ the stolen diamond belongs, refuses to speak to anyone without a lawyer.
Now, I just need to find the secret room _________________________ the thief actually hid the loot!

The correct answers are:

  • whose
  • whom
  • where

Whose shows possession (the alibi belongs to the butler). Do not confuse it with "who's" (who is).

Whom is the object form of "who" and is required after prepositions like "to", "with", or "for" in formal English.

Where is a relative adverb used to refer to a place (the secret room).
