Q.1 The correct pronoun is the direct object of the verb "reported."

Why did you choose two different forms after I told you they were both objects?
wt no i didn't answer that ... i know that the subject and predicate nominative is for who nd whoever and the object of preposition nd direc object is whom nd whomever so both answers are whom .. thank you ..
You're right. Both sentences use "whom."
Q1. In order to determine whether we should use "who" or "whom" in the sentence, we need to identify whether the pronoun is functioning as the subject or object of the sentence.
To do this, you can rephrase the sentence as a question using the pronoun "who" or "whom." For example, you can ask, "You reported __?"
If the answer to the question is "he" or "she," then you should use "who." If the answer is "him" or "her," then you should use "whom."
In the sentence "The student (who, whom) you reported has been suspended," the question would be, "You reported __?" The correct answer would be "him" or "her," so the correct pronoun to use is "whom."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The student whom you reported has been suspended."
Q2. Similarly, to determine whether to use "who" or "whom" in this sentence, we need to identify the function of the pronoun.
Ask yourself the question, "You are asking __ to the dance on Saturday?" If the answer is "he" or "she," then use "who." If the answer is "him" or "her," use "whom."
In the sentence, "Who are you asking to the dance on Saturday?" if we ask the question, "You are asking __?" The correct answer would be "him" or "her," so the pronoun "whom" should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Whom are you asking to the dance on Saturday?"
