3 which: The gap refers to the house where my parents live, so we use which.

4 who: The gap refers to my mother, so we use who.

5 –: We don’t need a relative pronoun here, as we’re talking about the object. If you want to check, try turning the sentence around: I (subject) need the help. (object).

6 where: The gap refers to her studio, so we use where.

7 who: The gap refers to someone, so we use who.
