Answer :

Let's look at each blank individually and choose the correct answer:

  1. Chocolate is the flavour that I like best.

    • "That" is used for things or objects, and chocolate is a flavor, not a person. So, a) that is the correct choice.

  2. That actor, whose name I have now forgotten, was once rude to my mother.

    • "Whose" is used to show possession, meaning the actor's name belongs to them. So, b) whose is the correct choice.

  3. Vicky, who is normally very serious, couldn't stop laughing.

    • "Who" is used to refer to people. Vicky is a person, so a) who is the correct choice.

  4. The documentary follows young people who are buying their first home.

    • "Who" is used for people, and in this case, "young people" are being referred to. Thus, b) who is the correct choice.

  5. The train, which was two hours late, finally arrived.

    • "Which" is used for things, and "train" is an object, so b) which is correct.

  6. That's the man whose glasses I found.

    • "Whose" indicates possession (his glasses). Thus, a) whose is the correct choice.

  7. He's a teacher who can explain very complex ideas easily.

    • "Who" is used for people, and "teacher" is a person. So, b) who is correct.

  8. The hotel where Jean and Lorna had their party was very nice.

    • "Where" is used to refer to places. "Hotel" is a place, so b) where is correct.

  9. I went to a restaurant which was called The Blue Lake.

    • "Which" is used for things, and "restaurant" is a thing. Therefore, b) which is correct.

  10. The holiday cottage had good wifi, which was important.

    • "Which" refers to the whole preceding clause or idea that "had good wifi." So, a) which is correct.

  11. There's the car that I want to buy.

    • "That" is used for things, and "car" is an object. Hence, b) that is correct.
