Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: the driver which had met
Explanation:
Introduction:
This question targets correct relative pronoun choice for persons ("who/whom") vs things ("which/that").
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
For human antecedents, prefer "who/whom." "Which" is reserved for things/animals (in many styles). Thus "the driver who had met with the accident" is the appropriate wording.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify antecedent: "driver" → person.2) Replace "which" with "who."3) Full corrected sentence: "If the bystander had not been familiar with first-aid techniques, the driver who had met with the accident would have died."4) Punctuation: insert a comma after the if-clause to improve readability.
Verification / Alternative check:
Read with "who" and confirm human reference sounds natural and standard.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Overusing "which" regardless of antecedent; neglecting comma after long if-clauses.
