English question from Social Forest Worker exam, 2026 by JKSSB

Fill in the blanks 
____ idea was it to leave the gate open all night?

Last updated Jul 21, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — Whose
The correct answer is B) Whose

Explanation:
Whose is a possessive pronoun used to ask or show who owns or is responsible for something (e.g., "Whose idea," "Whose coat").

Why the other options are incorrect:
A) Who's: A contraction for "Who is" or "Who has" ("Who's going to the store?"). Substituting it here gives "Who is idea was it...", which is grammatically incorrect.

C) Whom: Used as an objective pronoun (the object of a verb or preposition), e.g., "To whom did you give the keys?"

D) Which: Used to choose among a specific, limited set of items ("Which option do you prefer?").
