The correct pronouns to complete the sentences are:

B - Whom

A - Who
To determine the correct pronouns that complete the sentences, first we need to understand the difference between "who" and "whom."
"Who" is used as the subject of a sentence or clause (the person doing the action). On the other hand, "whom" is used as the object of a sentence or clause (the person receiving the action).
Now, let's apply this knowledge to the sentences:
1. Will, ______ we met yesterday, is going to groom our dogs.
In this sentence, the pronoun is referring to the subject of the clause "we met yesterday." Since "we" is the subject, we should use the pronoun for the subject, which is "who." Therefore, the correct pronoun is A - "Who."
2. _____ was he again? I don't remember meeting anyone.
In this sentence, the pronoun is referring to the object of the clause "I don't remember meeting anyone." Since "he" is the object of the sentence, we should use the pronoun for the object, which is "whom." Therefore, the correct pronoun is B - "Whom."
