answer explanation:
<span id="docs-internal-guid-afd2933a-7fff-0feb-d7b6-ab1184f1e065"><p style="">The sentence would read: "The owners of this establishment will not be responsible for any lost or stolen property, nor will they be prepared to contemplate compensating anyone whose belongings go missing inside these premises."</p><p style="">The word "whose" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership or affiliation with someone. In this context, it's used to refer to the person(s) the belongings belong to. "Whom" would be incorrect as it's used as an object pronoun for people, often in formal contexts. "Who" is a subject pronoun, used for the individual performing the action, and "where" refers to a place, which doesn't fit this context.</p></span>
