Dorothy Parker's fiery personality was often mirored in her caustic stories,which were brazen for the 1930's,a time period in which women were more cautious about voicing their opinions.
a. in which women were more cautious about voicing their opinions.
b. where women were more cautious about voicing their opinions.
c. in which women had been more cautious about voicing their opinions.
d. when women would have been more cautious about voicing their opinions.
e.when women had been more cautious about voicing their opinions.
[spoiler]OA:A[/spoiler]
Eliminate b straightaway.When talking about a time period "when " is more appropriate.Left with d and e."e" was the answer I selected as "had been ' was also used appropriatly.The action started in the past and finished in the past so past perfect tense is rightly used.
Please explain my fallacies?
