EOS? What does it mean?

[Kitosdad]

EOS = end of subject.

You read the question wrong, as you did with the tag question in another test.

Lighten up, people come here to learn, not to argue. You were wrong EOS.

Ok. But....

[Umasax]

7.......... the highest ranking official in the United States?

(a) Who's
(b) Whom
(c) Who
(d) What
Where have you seen "is" before the highest ranking.....?

[QUOTE:] If the word "is" hadn't already been in the test sentence, then "Who's" would have been correct[/QUOTE]

[Kitosdad]

If, but it wasn't.

We do not understand each other. However, thanks for explanation.

You are welcome. Your English is nearly perfect, but you only need to ease your foot off the accelerator a little.

More posts and less tests would bring boundless benefits, especially the posts of Mr. Micawber and Alan.
