I'm a little bit confused about a grammar point.
On OG13 SC section, the question 35 has an answer choice that reads, "earned at at a time in which aviation was still so new....". The OG explanation given for this questions says that the correct pronoun for time is when (not in which)!
On the other hand, we have another question (q72) that reads, "Led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas". However, the OG explanation given for this question says that in which or when can be interchangeably used for 'age' in this sentence!
Why two different explanations for one grammar point?! What am I missing here? If we can use both 'when' and 'in which' as a pronoun for time, then why does OG say that ONLY 'when' is the correct pronoun for time?
I hope that my question is clear. I did not write the entire questions since I did not want to discuss the correct answer but the grammar point related to 'a time in which' and 'a time when'.
