Which one sounds correct?

Question

I got this question from a book.\n"My friend lives in a nearby Street (whose name) I have forgotten."\nIn my opinion"we use Whose with living beings but my book suggests answer should be (which name).

Answer 1

"Whose" is used to indicate possession or association. It is commonly used when referring to people or things. In this case, you are talking about the street's name, so "whose" is an appropriate choice. You would also be technically correct if you say" My friend lives in a street the name of which I forget."



Answer 2

It should be "whose," as "whose" denotes possession, and the name that has been forgotten belongs to the friend that lives on a nearby street.
