Please have a look on the following examples:
1-1- Who does he look like?
1-2- Who does he resemble?
1-3- Whom does he look like?
1-4- Whom does he resemble?
As far as I know, for “he”’ or “’she,” we use "who" and for “him” or “her,” use "whom".
Consequently, we say:
- He looks like me (not "I"). [Therefore, we must be able to use "whom" not "who"!]
- He resembles me (not "I").[Therefore, we must be able to use "whom" not "who"!]
But Ngram shows somwthing else! Please have a look on the folloing link: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=whom+does+he+look+like%2Cwhom+does+he+resemble%2Cwho+does+he+look+like%2Cwho+does+he+resemble&case_insensitive=on&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t4%3B%2Cwhom%20does%20he%20resemble%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3BWhom%20does%20he%20resemble%3B%2Cc0%3B%3Bwhom%20does%20he%20resemble%3B%2Cc0%3B.t4%3B%2Cwho%20does%20he%20look%20like%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3BWho%20does%20he%20look%20like%3B%2Cc0%3B%3Bwho%20does%20he%20look%20like%3B%2Cc0
The same goes for the following examples of mine:
2-1- Who is her demeanor like the most?
2-2- Who is her demeanor similar to the most?
2-3- Whom is her demeanor like the most?
2-4- Whom is her demeanor similar to the most?
I have no any idea which one is correct and which one is incorrect?
I would appresiate it if you could help me to figure it out!
