Which section of the following passage needs to be edited for incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, inappropriate word choice or wordiness?

“Give the rest of the pizza to
whomever asks for it;
I certainly don’t want
any more slices.”

Explanation

Answer: B - Corrected version: whoever asks for it;

Whomever should be changed to whoever. Whoever is used in the subject position of a sentence, and whomever is an object. In the above sentence, whoever is the subject of the embedded clause, “whoever asks for it,” even though the embedded clause is itself an indirect object.
