Answer: My aunt Lizzie, who is the funniest person ever, is coming to visit.

Explanation: Relative pronouns are used to connect a noun/pronoun to a clause/phrase. The clause provides further information about the noun/pronoun.

Relative pronouns that we regularly use are who, whom, whose, that and which.

Who, whom, and whose are usually used to describe people, while that and which are used to describe things/objects.

In the sentences given above, the only correct usage of a relative pronoun is the last sentence, where pronoun 'who' is used to describe a person (aunt Lizzie). It is not correct to use relative pronoun 'who' with objects such as TV, as these objects are not human.

All credits go to the other person i coppied what they had and used it so you guys can be 100% sure its right so dont report me for copy or plaserism i give all props to the other person.
