—What a mess! You are always so lazy! —I’m not to blame, mum.I am ________ you have made me. —What a mess! You are always so lazy! —I’m not to blame, mum. I am ________ you have made me. A. how B. what C. that D. who
The sentence requires a relative pronoun to introduce a noun clause that functions as the complement of "am," referring to the result of being "made." Let’s analyze the options:
How (A) refers to manner, which doesn’t fit here since the focus is on the outcome, not the way of making.
That (C) typically needs an antecedent noun, which is absent here, making it grammatically incomplete.
Who (D) refers to a person’s identity, but the sentence describes a state or condition, not personal identity.
What (B) correctly introduces a noun clause acting as the complement of "am," meaning "the thing that." It logically completes the idea: "you have made me [something]," and "what" captures that unspecified "something."
Answer: B
The correct sentence is: "I am what you have made me." This structure emphasizes that the speaker’s current state is the result of the mother’s influence or actions.
