Grammar
In which
Dear all,
I came acoss the below question. Only one of the following
four parentheses was wrong.
In art, caricature is a pictorial (representation which) the
physical features (of) a person (or object) have been
grossly exaggerated for (comic effect).
The answer was (representation which).
it should be reworded as (representation in which). But
I get confused:
Why didn't we pick (or object) instead? Inferred from
the word "object", I'd directly add "an" object to come
with a person. So we get
the physical features of a person or an object have been
grossly exaggerated for comic effect.
Can anyone explain why?
Thank you so much.
