whose - people. Knewton Manhattan [#permalink] New post 19 Apr 2011, 08:29
Hello,

I thought that "whose" could be used as a relative pronoun both for things and for people. At least that is what I once read in Manhattan SC.
Now, I'm doing one CAT from Knewton online course (got 770 :-S---> it seems not to be very representative of the real thing, since honestly I dont think that is my level) and in one question it says: Copy Paste of the solution: "choice C begins its relative clause with whose; suborders are not people, and the pronoun whose is reserved for people".

Could anybody elaborate on this.
Thanks in advance.

Without question very few ppl will be able to comment on usage.
