What is the difference in "Which" and "That", and what is the way to know which one is the best to use?
(I dont know if this topic was discussed.. i tried to use search, but I'm not sure if it works here)
Which and That
This topic has expert replies
If you have Manhattan SC guide, it explains it well.
'Which' - used to introduce non essential modifiers. Means that a modifier introduced by 'which' can be removed without loosing any essential meaning.
'that' - used to introduce essential modifiers.
Read up the Modifiers section in the SC guide for examples and explanations.

Auzbee's right on target, although the particulars on which/that are very involved. It's important you find a source (manhattan SC works really well) that goes over this in detail and offers practice exercises because the GMAT tests this knowledge over and over.
