Correct Answer:
D. The person to whom he sold the house was a fraud
Correct answer: The person to whom he sold the house was a fraud. Only this sentence has correct grammar, with the article “the” and “a” and the verb “sold” in the past tense.
Background: A sentence needs a subject, a verb, and correct articles.
- To whom he sold house was fraud: It is missing the article “the” and does not form a complete clause.
- To whom he sell house was fraud.: “Sell” is the wrong verb form here.
- To whom he sell house were fraud.: “Sell” and “were” are both wrong.
Did you know? “To whom” is a prepositional phrase and must follow a noun here.
Memory trick: Choose the full, complete sentence.
