Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank number 4.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. which.
Context: The sentence explains how climate change is connected to other social, racial, and environmental issues. The blank needs a relative pronoun that refers to “the ways” and introduces additional information about these connections.
Meaning of the words:
Whose: shows possession, e.g., “the person whose bag is lost.”
Which: refers to things or ideas and introduces additional information.
That: refers to things or people and can introduce essential clauses.
Whom: refers to people as the object of a verb or preposition.
Correct word: Which
Reason: The phrase “the ways in which climate change is deeply intertwined” is the correct collocation in English. “Whose” shows possession, “that” could work but is less formal here, and “whom” is for people, so which is the most appropriate choice.
Final Sentence: …also on the ways in which climate change is deeply intertwined with a range of other social, racial and environmental issues…
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
