Your subject, verb, and object were perfectly clear to me.
But why have you used the objective form of a pronoun in a construction where it is the subject, which requires the nominative form?
Clause = whom know the simple answers from experience
Subject = whom (but should be "who")
Verb = know
Object = the simple answers
I know you broke down your sentence for the purpose of clarity. I, OTOH, have broken down your clause for the purpose of pursuing details that have nothing to do with AR.
Meanwhile, I will have to return to the subject of grass once I determine the size of the large lawns where I grew up and mowed.
