    Shilpa, whom is my tenant, lost the keys of the house.
    Solutions
    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    In a sentence, who is a subject pronoun used for ‘he’, ‘she’ and ‘they’ and whom is used as the object pronoun used for ‘him’, ‘her’ and ‘us’.

    When in doubt about the application of who and whom, if the word is replaced with ‘he’ or ‘she’, use who and if you can replace with ‘him’ or ‘her’, use whom.

    In the given sentence, ‘Shilpa ’ being the subject can be replaced with ‘she’, therefore, ‘who’ is best suitable to use.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Therefore, the first action requires the present perfect tense (has/have + verb). So the sentence should be written as “ The film stays with you long after you have finished watching it.”

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.
