Which of the following statements is not true? A. "Who" and "whom" are personal pronouns.
B. "Who" is a subject pronoun.
C. "Whom" can serve as the object of a preposition.
D. "Whom" is an object pronoun.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: This is a super tricky question.

First ,of all, C and D are out right away, because "whom" can totally be an object pronoun or an object of a preposition.

But technically "who" and "whom" are RELATIVE pronouns, not subject pronouns or personal pronouns. So at first glance it looks like both A and B could be good answers.

But there's a catch! "Who" and "Whom" can ALSO be interrogative pronouns—which are pronouns we use to ask questions, like "Who is that over there?" or "Whom did you talk to?" (which is technically correct, but super old-fashioned).

Now, when it comes to interrogative pronouns, "who" technically functions as a subject pronoun while "whom" functions an object pronoun.

Meaning it IS true that "who" is SOMETIMES a subject pronoun, when it's used as an interrogative pronoun in a question.

That means that you can eliminate B, C, and D, which makes A your best answer.
Answer 2
Answer: From my experience, I think it is a.

Using the Harvard method, rewrite the following literary works: The title of the book is Economics and Management Sciences written by MM Byrne in 2010 and published in Pretoria at the University of South Africa

Answers

Harvard Referencing a book typically goes: 
[Author Surname], [Author Initial]. ([Year Published]). [Title]. ed. [City]: [Publisher], p.[Pages Used].

All you have to do is fill in the gaps: 
Byrne, MM (2010). Economics and Management Sciences . Pretoria: University of South Africa. p1-100.

I don't know which pages you are referencing, so I wrote "1-100" as an example which is easily changeable.
