Answers:a.
Whom did the committee choose to lead the delegation? [In this sentence, whom is the direct
object.]
b. Please return the catalog to its proper location. [The contraction it’s can only mean it is;
therefore, its must be used here.]
c. I believe Helen will win the competition with her portfolio. Or: I believe Helen’s portfolio will
win her the competition.
d. Can you tell me who is going to introduce our speaker? [The contraction of who and is must be
used here.]

e. This award means a lot to us reporters. [The pronoun us and its appositive reporters function as
one unit—the direct object.]
f. I will vote for the candidate who people believe will not be cowed by special interests. [In this
sentence, who is the subject, not the object. The nominative or subjective case is, therefore,
necessary.]
g. Don't you think she is more creative than I? [This is a comparative sentence. Because the
second clause in a comparison is often implied, you must mentally complete the thought to
determine proper case. The nominative case I is required because that pronoun is the subject of
the implied clause. That is: Don’t you think she is more creative than I (am creative)?]
h. Believe me, there is not a better designer in this firm than her. [Superlative comparisons end
with the objective case, so in this example there is no better designer than her. It would not
make sense to say that there is no better designer than she (is a designer).]
i. There’s a reason for his faulty grammar: lack of focus. [The contraction of there and is must be
used here. Theirs is possessive.]
j. It’s a matter of personal choice, don't you think? [The contraction of it and is must be used
here.]
