Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 8.

Option 1: who

Option 2: that

Option 3: which

Option 4: what

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: who


Solution : The correct choice will be the first option.

The sentence structure suggests that the missing word should introduce additional information about Joachim Martin, specifying his role in the context. Who is the correct option in this case, as it is a relative pronoun used to provide more details about a person. The use of "who" clarifies Joachim Martin's connection to the action of installing the flooring.

Therefore, the completed sentence would read: "Messages were written between 1880 and 1881 by Joachim Martin, who installed the flooring."
