Some scientists suggest the moon had been formed out of part of the Earth, which was dislodged perhaps by a meteor.
A)the moon had been formed out of part of the Earth, which was dislodged perhaps
B)that the moon was formed from part of the Earth that had perhaps been dislodged
C)that part of the Earth formed the moon, which was dislodged perhaps
D)the moon was formed out of part of the Earth, having perhaps been dislodged
E)that the moon had been formed from part of the Earth, which perhaps had been dislodged


OA is B


Can any1 explain whether is it OK for X of Y that where THAT can refer to Y, here,EARTH or THAT can refer to X of Y,here, PART OF THE EARTH

Ashish,

Could be plz elaborate your question???

Some scientists suggest the moon had been formed out of part of the Earth, which was dislodged perhaps by a meteor.

Problem : Sequence of events are changed

Soln :B)--- that the moon was formed from part of the Earth that had perhaps been dislodged

--- Proper Usage of Past perfect tense

C)that part of the Earth formed the moon, which was dislodged perhaps .

Changes the intended meaning

D)the moon was formed out of part of the Earth, having perhaps been dislodged

having...???

E)that the moon had been formed from part of the Earth, which perhaps had been dislodged

Not following the syntax for past perfect tense.

What is the difference between "that" and "which"?

That - "That" is used with restrictive phrases. Restrictive phrases are phrase. that are essential to the sentence.

Which - "Which" is used with nonrestrictive phrases. Nonrestrictive phrases are phrases that state non essential information. A phrase is considered nonrestrictive phase if the phase can be omitted from the sentence.

Examples:

â– The shirt that you lent me is in my bag.
â– The shirt, which is red, is in my bag.

In B i dont like the that. As that specifies the restrictive clause and which does not , IMO there was no need for that, use of which shouyld have been correct. as scientists are really talking about the moon not how earth was formed.

Any comment ?
