Hi
I have a question.
When do we use "that" and when can we avoid using "that" in a sentence?
eg. Of all the corporate "green" policies, this is the one I find most disingenuous.
Why did we avoid using "that" here?
Thanks

Hi qwerty12321,
The GMAT doesn't typically test you on whether you should use the word "that" or not. The issue is usually "should you use 'that' or should you use 'which'?"
There are circumstances in which the word "that" is a must. As an example, "command verbs" require that the word "that" be included.
eg. The doctor demanded that the lab technician run the test.
