Answer 1

The next day, people who came along the road, saw the stone.

Explanation:

• Generally, a particle is a term that is not associated with the usual grammar classes of words like verbs, nouns or pronouns, etc.
• The non-native speakers of the English language find it difficult to use particles in their sentences especially the adverbial particle that is used to make phrasal verbs.
• So the correct particle that suits out statement is 'who'.

Answer 2

Choose the correct answer:

The next day, people who came along the road, saw the  stone.

Explanation:

• Pronoun is a word that is used as a noun phrase in the discourse. In this sentence, "who" is the pronoun.
• There is a common noun "people" in the sentence which defines humans, thus, "who" is used in the sentence.
• People is a plural form, if there is reference to singular form, then there will be usage of "whom" in the sentence.
