Grammar
Whichever/Whatever
Please look at the following question.
We need to make this point clear to ___ advertising agency gets this new account.
A. their B. those C. whoever D. whichever
The correct answer is D.whichever. But I think it should be "whatever". The "to" used in the sentence looks a preposition. ( eg I want to give it to you)
"Whichever" comes to me as a meaning of "no matter which" and "whatever" comes to me as a meaning of "every". Am I wrong?
I couldn't understand why its correct answer is D.whichever.
Couldn't you explain it to me a little bit?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, to is a preposition, but I don't see a connection there. I don't get a meaning of "every" with whatever.
[ I have no idea whatever of what she wants for a birthday gift. - No choice involved. ]
I hope this helps, even though it is a bit confusing.

Sometimes there are a lot of not good questions because people who makes these questions is not a native speaker like you.Since you couldn't more clear for it, I regard that question as not a good one in grammar. Thanks once again,MrPhilip
