Assam has issued a diktat saying people ……….. do not know
Explanation:
- The statement is discussing a requirement by the Assam Sahitya Sabha regarding language knowledge for employment in Assam.
- The blank in the sentence needs a relative pronoun that introduces a clause describing "people."
- Option 1: which - "Which" is used for things, not people, so it's not suitable here.
- Option 2: who - "Who" is correctly used for people. It introduces a relative clause describing the people who do not know the language.
- Option 3: whom - "Whom" is used when referring to an object of a verb or preposition, not suitable for this context where the subject of a clause is needed.
- Option 4: he - "He" is a personal pronoun, not a relative pronoun, hence unsuitable for this sentence.
