Question

Choose the grammatically correct option from the following.

• A. Could you give me the amount that you filled out in the check which was sent?
• B. Could you give me the amount what you filled out in the check you sent?
• C. Could you give me the amount for which you filled out in the check you sent?
• D. Could you give me the amount wherein you filled out in the check you sent?

Hint:

“What” cannot follow a noun like “amount” as a relative pronoun; “that”/“which” are the natural choices here.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Each wrong option swaps in a relative pronoun or connector that does not fit naturally with the surrounding words, so checking each swap in isolation quickly narrows this down.

1. “What” in option B is not used as a relative pronoun directly after a noun like “amount” in standard English; “that” or “which” is required instead.
2. “For which” in option C adds an unneeded preposition that does not fit the action of filling out an amount.
3. “Wherein” in option D means “in which”, which does not naturally describe “filling out” an amount either.
4. Option A uses the standard, natural relative pronouns “that” (for the amount) and “which” (for the check), producing a smooth, correct sentence.

So the correct answer is option A.
