I take 25-4The subject complement of the linking verb was should be in the subjective case. The modifier of the gerund bringing should be in the possessive case. The object of the infinitive to meet should be in the objective case. The object of the preposition for should be in the objective case. The appositive renames the subject, candidates, so it should be in the subjective case. The direct object of the verb did replace should be in the objective case: whom. In questions, the direct object appears out of its normal order. To hear the correct pronoun, you can mentally restructure the question.
