Hi All,
For the below question, as per the explanation given in OG-11 for Q#59....
" "in which" and "when" can be used interchangeably in this sentence".
But as per my understanding "which"
a) generally refers to physical things or
b) as a middlemen as suggested by Manhattan.
Can somebody please tell, how "in which" is correct here when none of the above is the case. Are there specific cases when "in which" and "when" can be used interchangeably?
===================
His Studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1857 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas.
A. in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas.
B. in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas.
C. when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate.
D. when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas.
E. when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate.
Thanks
Mohit
