Directions : Fill in the blank with correct option to make a proper sentence.
The people… you socialize are called friends.
Explanation
The correct answer is (a) with whom.
Explanation:
In English grammar, when a relative pronoun is the object of a preposition, we use "whom" rather than "who" (in formal writing). The verb in this sentence is "socialize," which requires the preposition "with" to connect to the people.
We can express the grammatical rule as:
Preposition+Whom=Correct Formal Structure
Socialize+with+the people→The people with whom you socialize
