Good Work!

Question:
When a dancer which is talented performs the best-known numbers, the entire audience becomes involved.
Answer:
The answer Wrong is correct.
Explanation:
Grammatically, this sentence is fine, but many people consider it a matter of good style not to use "which" to refer to people -- "who is talented" would be much better.
