Where

In Greek theology the supreme being was Esaugetu Emissee (Master of Breath), who dwelt in an upper realm in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to takeaway the breath of life.

A. in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take
B. where the sky was the floor, having the power to give and to take
C. whose floor was the sky, and who has the power of giving and of taking
D. in which the sky was the floor, with the power of giving and taking
E. whose floor was the sky, having the power to give and take


OA A

I think we need where instead of which

I'm not sure as to why the answer can't be D... is it because choice D doesn't form a complete sentence?

"b"..sky was the floor...is not good...it seems that sky is having the power
"c". whose relates to emmisee as subject..
"d"..with refers to sky here which is not correct..
"e"..again that damn whose..

so "a" is correct..

choice d makes complete sentence, but in "in which the sky was the floor, with the power of giving and taking", 'with the power of giving and taking' modifies floor not Esaugetu Emissee
