Question

For the sentence below, determine how the word in italics is used. Is it a relative pronoun, a subordinating conjunction, or neither?
The man (whose) car I borrowed filled it with gasoline.

Answer 1

It's a relative pronoun which introduces a relative clause.

Answer 2

Answer:

Whose - relative pronoun

Explanation:

In the sentence, the word whose  is a relative pronoun, and it indicates possession. The man whose car I borrowed ( The car that I borrowed belongs to the man/ I borrowed the man's car.)  We use whose to introduce a relative clause that indicates possession by people, animals and things. Another example is: The film is about a spy whose wife betrays him.
