Fill in with relative pronoun the blank space below: The sun, — rays give life to the earth, was regaided by the ancients as a god.
- a.That
- b.Whose
- c.Which
- d.Whom
Answer: (B) Whose
'Whose' is the correct relative pronoun indicating possession — the rays belong to the sun. 'Whose' is used to refer back to the sun (an inanimate object can still use 'whose' in formal/literary English). 'Which' is not possessive, and 'that' cannot be used in a non-restrictive clause.
