You are absolutely 100% correct!
That is correct! Option A) is true. "We give this award to Dexter, without whom we never would have found Mike's shoes" demonstrates the correct use of "whom."
To determine whether to use "whom" or "who" in a sentence, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify whether the pronoun is functioning as the subject or the object in the sentence.
2. If the pronoun is functioning as the subject, use "who." If it is functioning as the object, use "whom."
In the given sentence, "Dexter" is the object of the preposition "without." Therefore, we use "whom" to refer to Dexter. The sentence can be rewritten as "We give this award to Dexter. We never would have found Mike's shoes without him."
