Oh my god... you are bad at this :'(

But no biggie - i can help.



**Always first take out prepositional phrases**



Okay, for 1, take out the prepositional phrase 'as well as other members of management'. Now, you have:

1. A shift supervisor must do (his, her, his or her, their) best to exhibit strong ethics.



Take out the adjectives:



A supervisor must do (his, her, his or her, their) best to exhibit ethics.



Can a supervisor be a man or woman (yes). So it is HIS OR HER.



---------------

2. Union members elected (its, their) officers by electronic ballot.



Take out prepositional phrases:



Union members elected (its, their) officers.



Take out adjectives:



Members elected (its, their) officers.



Are members singular or plural?

PLURAL: SO IT IS THEIR.



------------------



He is the vocational counselor (who,whom) we believe has the most connections to local employers.



For this, think of it like this: (Verb)(Object of verb)(etc.)



We believe in who/whom has the most connections.



We believe in is accusitive, or transitive. It mean that the who/whom is a direct object so

IT IS WHOM.
