Which words are part of Grandpa's five W's?

• A. who, what, when, where, why
• B. who, what, where, why, how
• C. what, when, where, why, whom
• D. who, why, when, where, what

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing the standard set of questions used to gather essential details—the five W's. These are who, what, when, where, and why, and they help you cover the people involved, the event, the timing, the location, and the reason or purpose. The correct answer lists exactly those five words, in any order, which is why it’s the best fit. The other options mix in how, which isn’t part of the traditional five W's, or replace one word with whom, which shifts the standard set. So the five canonical prompts are who, what, when, where, and why.
