    Explanation:

    - Let's analyze the given options to fill in the blank:

    - Option 1: which - This is typically used for things or animals, not people, so it's not suitable here.

    - Option 2: who - This is used for people and fits well in the sentence referring to "boys who worked as messengers."

    - Option 3: whose - This indicates possession, which isn't the intended meaning here.

    - Option 4: whom - This is used for people, usually as the object of a verb or preposition, but the sentence requires a subject.

    - The sentence: "a few boys [who] worked as messengers" needs a subject pronoun for "boys," making "who" the right choice.
