How is the underlined pronoun used in sentence Whom did Jimmy meet on train?

The underlined pronoun "Whom" is used as the object of the verb "meet".

Here's why:

* "Whom" is the object pronoun used for people. It's the version used when the pronoun is receiving the action of the verb.

* "Meet" is the verb in the sentence. The action of meeting is being done to someone.

* "Jimmy" is the subject of the sentence. He is the one performing the action of meeting.

Therefore, "Whom" is the person being met, making it the object of the verb.
