Which sentence below uses personal pronouns correctly?
A. Who touches Caesar's property will answer to Caesar.
B. Whoever touches Caesar's property will answer to Caesar.
C. Whomever touches Caesar's property will answer to Caesar.
I think it's B?
Right again. Very nice!
Yes, you are correct. The sentence B "Whoever touches Caesar's property will answer to Caesar" uses personal pronouns correctly.
To determine the correct use of personal pronouns in this case, we need to consider the function of the pronoun in the sentence. In this sentence, we need a pronoun to refer to the person who touches the property, and that pronoun should be the subject of the verb "touches".
The pronoun "whoever" in sentence B is used correctly because it is the subject of the verb "touches". It is a subject pronoun that refers to an indefinite person.
On the other hand, sentence A "Who touches Caesar's property will answer to Caesar" is incorrect because the pronoun "who" is used as the object of the verb "touches". In this case, we need a subject pronoun.
Sentence C "Whomever touches Caesar's property will answer to Caesar" is also incorrect. In this case, "whomever" is an object pronoun, and we need a subject pronoun.
Therefore, the correct sentence is B.
