    • What did Ann bought.

    Correct Answer

    • Whom did Alex saw at the meeting.

    Correct Answer
    A. Whom Alex saw at the meeting
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "whom Alex saw at the meeting." This is the correct answer because it correctly uses the past tense verb "saw" to match with the past tense verb "did" in the question. Additionally, it correctly uses the pronoun "whom" to indicate the object of the verb "saw."

    • Whose pen is that is.

    • Whose pen this is.

    Correct Answer
    A. Whose pen that is.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "whose pen that is." This is because the noun clause is asking for the subject of the sentence "That is (Ann's) pen." The phrase "whose pen" is used to inquire about the ownership of the pen, and "that is" is used to refer to the pen in question.
