Ramu is the elected leader / and also a person / who we all / can confide in.
A. Ramu is the elected leader
B. and also a person
C. who we all
D. can confide in
E. No Error
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The phrase "who we all can confide in" contains a grammatical error in the use of the relative pronoun.Here, "who" is incorrectly used as the object of the verb "confide in." Since it functions as an object, the correct relative pronoun should be "whom".
So the correct sentence should be:
"Ramu is the elected leader and also a person whom we all can confide in."
"Whom" is used when referring to the object of a verb or preposition, whereas "who" is used as a subject.
Hence, the error lies in Option C.

In this sentence WHO is incorrect ... It will be WHOM
The correct sentence will be Ramu is the elected leader and also a person Whom we all can confide in
Whom should be in place of who
As Who is used as a subject and whom is used to denote object

She is the person whom I love. (যাকে / जिन्हें / जिसको)
Here's the corrected sentence:

whom in place of who should be correct
Who' is to be changed to' whom' because it comes in the place of object. We can confide in him(whom)
