“_ _ _ _ going to the party tonight?” “I am not”.
A. Whose
B. Which
C. Who’s
D. Where

Answer 1

Hint:First we must know the meanings of all the options and choose the option which will be grammatically correct. Also, we must see that the selected option will make the sentence meaningful.

Complete answer: This sentence requires a particular Question word with a helping verb to be completed.
Let’s examine and analyze the given options first.
A.Whose: whose is a Relative Pronoun which is used to ask if something belongs to someone but the given sentence is asking a question about other’s actions. So it’s not an appropriate option.

B. Which: this option is inappropriate because the sentence is the example of Present Continuous Tense (Double Interrogative) so it needs a helping verb. So it’s not an appropriate option.

D. Where: even this option is inappropriate because it doesn’t have any helping verb but this sentence requires a helping verb to be corrected.

C. Who’s: option (C) is an absolutely correct option because it is a contraction of ‘Who is' which makes this sentence correct as this sentence is the example of Present Continuous Tense and it requires a helping verb.
So the correct sentence is “who's going to the party tonight?” “I am not”.

Note:
For choosing the correct option knowing the actual meaning of the given question is necessary or else our sentence can be grammatically incorrect.
To understand such questions the study of ‘Question Words and Tenses’ is required so that we can write correct sentences.
