10월 4일 텝스 문법 파트 1 문제

Should I quit my job to work at home instead? 
It's your choice. I'll support _____ you choose to do.

quitting my job and working at home(직장 그만두고 집에서 일하기), not quitting my job(직업 그만두지 않고 다니기) 두 가지 옵션 중에서 선택하는 상황 아닌가요?
그러나, 정답은 whatever라고 하는데요.
챗지피티에 의하면 whichever가 적절하고 열린 대답으로 whatever도 가능하다고 합니다. 
whichever, whatever 둘다 가능한 답이 되므로 선택지에 문제가 있다고 보여집니다. 

n your sentence, "whichever" is grammatically correct because it refers to a choice between two options (quitting the job or working at home). However, if you want to keep it more general or open-ended, "whatever" can also work.

Here’s the difference:

  • Whichever: Used when referring to a specific set of choices or alternatives.
    • Example: "I support whichever decision you make between these two options."
  • Whatever: Used when the range of choices is broader or unspecified.
    • Example: "I support whatever decision you make."

In this case, "whichever" sounds appropriate because you're talking about two clear options: staying at your job or working from home. If you want to keep it a bit more open-ended, you can switch to "whatever," but "whichever" isn't awkward here.
