circle the answer:

1. paulo, who/whom is a fan of superhero comics, wants these new shoes.
2. only a lucky shopper who/whom is in the right place at the right time will snag a pair.
3. these fans, for who/whom finding a rare collectible item is a real rush, will go to great lengths to get what they want.

Explanation:

Question 1:

To determine whether to use "who" or "whom", we analyze the function of the pronoun in the clause. In the clause "____ is a fan of superhero comics", the pronoun acts as the subject. "Who" is used as a subject pronoun, while "whom" is used as an object pronoun. So we use "who".

In the clause "____ is in the right place at the right time", the pronoun functions as the subject. Since "who" is used for subjects and "whom" for objects, we use "who".

First, we rephrase the relevant part of the sentence for clarity: "finding a rare collectible item is a real rush for ____". Here, the pronoun is the object of the preposition "for". "Whom" is used as an object pronoun (both direct/indirect objects and objects of prepositions), while "who" is a subject pronoun. So we use "whom".

Answer:

Circle "who"
