How did you do? Here are the correct answers:
1. Roberta said she’d go to work for whoever paid her the
most money.
The verb “paid” needs a subject to go with it, thus you need to use
whoever. Don’t be distracted by the preposition “for.” Follow the threestep
method discussed above.
2. The cabinet, along with the files, belongs to Willy.
Eliminate the modifying phrase “along with the files” to ensure you
correctly identify the subject as “cabinet.”
3. The staff expressed its support for the merger.
“Staff” is a collective noun and is treated here as singular.
4. You went to the party with whom ?
The only verb, “went,” goes with the subject “you.” Therefore, whom
is correct, as it serves as the object of the preposition “with.”
5. The mayor, as well as his deputies, says the initiative was
a success.
The subject of the sentence is “mayor,” a singular noun. Eliminate the
phrase “as well as his deputies” to confirm that the correct choice is says.
6. Neither the conductor nor the pianist is aware of the
schedule change.
“Neither” is singular if both subjects are singular.
7. Whom should I consult?
The verb is “should consult.” The subject is “I.” Given there is no other
verb, and the verb is not a form of to be, the pronoun whom is correct.
