Today’s ACT question of the day is an English question from the passage about radio. For more questions form this passage, check out the posts from February 14, February 10, and January 17.

The question asks about underlined section 11:

The RCA executives who created the
powerful NBC network…

The executives are people, so who is correct as written.  When we refer to people, we use the pronoun who.

This error isn’t always easy to spot since we tend to be sloppy about pronouns in everyday life.  How many times have you heard something like “she’s the one that got away”? (Sorry, Katy! The one who got away. You’re a person, too.)  If it’s human, use who, not that.
