Which pronoun would typically be used to ask about a person?

  1. What

  2. Who

  3. Which

  4. That

The correct answer is: Who

The correct pronoun to use when asking about a person is "who." This pronoun specifically refers to individuals or people, making it suitable for inquiries about their identity or role. For example, one might ask, "Who is that person?" to gain information about an individual. In contrast, "what" is generally used to inquire about things or concepts rather than people. "Which" typically refers to choices among options and is more about selecting from a set rather than identifying a person. "That" functions as a pronoun or determiner but does not specifically serve the purpose of asking about someone's identity. Thus, "who" stands out as the correct choice for questions relating to people.
