Hello Alphecca,

I was having problems with Which and Who is in the following:

1 Which of the girls is called Sarah?/Who is called Sarah?









Which of your eyes has better vision?

Which eye do you see better in/out of?



Thank you Alphecca

1 Which of the girls is called Sarah?

Which one of the girls is (called) Sarah? (One is optional, but to me sounds better. "Called" is strange here. It implies that her name is not Sarah, but people call her that.
Which one is Sarah? Is asking someone to point out the girl named Sarah out

Hi,
could we omit "which" or "who" in the first sentence?

I don't like carressing cats lying on their backs. You never know what might cross their minds.

Does it have a different meaning? Thank you!
