Quick grammar question!

Would it be..

'The man who she completely adores'

Or

'The man whom she completely adores'

These phrases are part of a complete sentence..
It's the second one, although the first one could also be used seeing as no one really uses whom anymore.

No, unless it's specific to the exam board to be able to use whom which it probably isn't.

It would be neither as this is a social construct.
