Hello everyone,
Could you please tell me if "either" or "Phileas Fogg" is okay at the end of the following question?
Q. What did Phileas Fogg ask Passepartout when he was packing the bag for him/Phileas Fogg?
A. He asked Passepartout to go with him to travel around the world.
I think we need to use "Phileas Fogg" because the sentence will be ambiguous with "him".
