Well, it was implied, but I should have gotten the puzzle anyway.

Whose is referring to "five-letter word" which is an implication that the result is a word:

[ul]Can you think of any five-letter words in the English language [where the word's] pronunciation stays the same when you remove four of the letters.[/ul]
