Please help me. This is an exercise. The answer is "that".

She is not the woman ( ) she was before she married.

Why not "whom"?

Thanks.

Hi Tisogai
In this case,'that she was' is an adj subordinate clause to modify antecedent 'the woman'.If RP that leads an adjective subordinate clause is served as a complement of verb be to suggest the identity of sb ,RP 'that' is used in this case but not 'whom'.
