※밑줄 친 부분 중 어법상 옳지 않은 것을 고르시오. [문6.∼문7.]

She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her ①graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump. Her thick-ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes. But she wore a red rose on her crumpled coat. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. Blandford felt as though he ②were being split in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman ③whom spirit had truly companioned and ④upheld his own; and there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; he could see that now. His fingers gripped the small worn, blue leather copy of Of Human Bondage, which was ⑤to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even rarer than love.

어법상 옳지 않은 것은 “whom”으로, 소유격 관계대명사 “whose”로 고쳐야 한다.
“spirit”은 관사 없는 단수 명사로 뒤 절의 주어이고, “had truly companioned and upheld his own”은 목적어까지 갖춘 완전한 절이다. 선행사 “the woman”과 “spirit”이 소유 관계(그 여인의 영혼)이므로 관계대명사의 격은 소유격이어야 한다.
“graying”은 명사 “hair”를 수식하는 현재분사로, 머리가 세어 가는 진행의 의미라 옳다.
“were being split”은 “as though” 뒤 가정법 과거의 진행 수동형으로 옳다.
“upheld”는 “companioned”와 “and”로 병렬되어 “had”에 이어지는 과거완료로 옳다.
“to identify”는 ‘be to 부정사’로 ‘그녀에게 자신을 알아보게 해 줄 것’이라는 용도·예정을 나타내어 옳다.
