Answer 2

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "who" as "used especially in questions as the subject or object of a verb, when asking which person or people, or when asking what someone's name is."

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "whatever" as "anything or everything."

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "sequence" as "a series of related things or events, or the order in which they follow each other."

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "saying" as "a well-known wise statement that often has a meaning that is different from the simple meanings of the words it contains."

From the above definitions, we can see that the correct word required to fill in the blank is b. whatever.

So, the correct sentence is :
