22. The man who answered the phone was rather rude.
Among the given options, option C) who is correct to fill in the blanks.
Explanation :
- In question 21, people are the antecedent, and who is the relative pronoun. Who shows the relation with people.
- In question 22, man is the antecedent, and who is the relative pronoun. Who shows the relation with man.
All the other three options in question 21, (a) whom,(b) which, and (d) none of the above, do not make any proper sense with the word people, so they are incorrect to fill in the blank.
All the other two options in question 22, (a) which,(b) that, do not make any proper sense with the word people, so they are incorrect to fill in the blank.
Hence, option (c) who makes proper sense with People and man both.
