Words & Wordplay - November 2007

A few (somewhat) simple grammar questions:
1.) Does the subjunctive mood exist in Enligsh? (Easy)
2.) Does the passive voice take a direct object? Does the verb "to be" take a direct object? (Easy)
3.) What question does an indirect statement answer (usually)? (Medium)
4.) Can a conjunction connect to unequal things (EX: A subject and a clause)? (Medium)
5.) Can a verb be used as a noun? If so, what is this called? (Medium)
6.) Is a "niether...nor" construction accounted as a double negative? (Easy)
7.) Does an impersonal verb take a subject? (Medium)
8.) Is the word "it" considered the subject of an impersonal verb? (medium)
9.) Do adverbs have degrees of manner? (Medium)
10.) How is an introductory conjunction like an adverb? (Hard)

You should get the easy ones right. The Mediums aren't so bad either. The Hard one shouldn't be hard for people who are well into High School or college or beyond.

To this end, I would like this individual investigated and dealt with appropriately as without addressing his attitude and behaviour I believe that he will continue to act in a way that to me is a flagrant disregard to the standards we are entitled to expect from our medical practitioners, but more importantly, I believe that he poses a potential danger to women, including women in his care.

In this sentence...

He had no problem preaching his views to whomever was listening.

...Am I correct to use whomever? Microsoft Word says I'm wrong. Isn't whomever the object of the preposition? Or should it be whoever because it's the subject of its own clause (whoever was listening)?
