Explanation:

These questions are about choosing the correct pronoun (who, whom, whose, etc.) or other word (like I/me, it's/its, that/those, etc.) in a sentence. This falls under the subfield of Linguistics (in the Arts discipline) as it deals with the study of language, specifically grammar and pronoun usage. For each sentence, we analyze the grammatical role of the word:

Question (20)

• Analysis: The pronoun is the subject of the verb "serves". "Who" is used as a subject (nominative case), "whom" is objective, and "whose" shows possession. Since we need a subject for "serves", "who" is correct.
• Correct Word: who

Question (21)

• Analysis: The pronoun refers to "sacrifices" (plural noun). "Them" is a plural object pronoun, "that" is singular relative, "those" is plural demonstrative. Here we need a pronoun to refer to "sacrifices" as the object of "set aside", so "them" is correct.
• Correct Word: them

Question (22)

• Analysis: The pronoun shows possession of "periods of time" related to "he". "His" is the possessive pronoun for "he", "him" is objective, "he" is subjective. So "his" is correct.
• Correct Word: his

Question (23)

• Analysis: The subject is "He", so the reflexive pronoun should match the singular masculine subject. "Himself" is the correct reflexive for "he", "themselves" is plural, "hisself" is non - standard.
• Correct Word: himself

Question (24)

• Analysis: The pronoun refers to "salary" (singular noun). "That" is used to refer to a singular noun (in a comparative or referential sense here), "those" is plural, "these" is plural. So "that" is correct.
• Correct Word: that

Question (25)

• Analysis: The pronoun shows possession of "unique challenge or adventure" (the day's challenge/adventure). "Its" is the possessive form of "it", "it's" is a contraction for "it is", "their" is plural possessive. Since "day" is singular (neuter), "its" is correct.
• Correct Word: its

Question (26)

• Analysis: The pronoun is part of the subject ("you and..."). "I" is the subjective case, "me" is objective, "us" is plural objective. Since it's part of the subject, "I" is correct.
• Correct Word: I

Question (27)

• Analysis: The pronoun refers to "those" (people) and is the subject of "serve". "Who" is used as a subject for people, "whom" is objective, "whose" is possessive. So "who" is correct.
• Correct Word: who

Question (28)

• Analysis: The pronoun is the object of the preposition "on" and refers to a person. "Whom" is the objective case for people, "who" is subjective, "whose" is possessive. So "whom" is correct.
• Correct Word: whom
