Top answer

The answer is D . Neither A (In which) nor C (In that) can be the answer because the sentence already contains the closing word "in" as part of "location" information about the shoes. " B (Where) is not the answer, because you still have the location "in" to deal with.

— Doctor D

  • The answer is D .
  • Neither A (In which) nor C (In that) can be the answer because the sentence already contains the closing word "in" as part of "location" information about the shoes.
  • " B (Where) is not the answer, because you still have the location "in" to deal with.
  • " Note that the reply implies a fuller meaning (otherwise it would be a sentence fragment).
  • " I hope this is clear.

The answer is D.
Neither A (In which) nor C (In that) can be the answer because the sentence already contains the closing word "in" as part of "location" information about the shoes. You can say, for example, "In the suitcase in which you put your shoes." But you cannot say "In the suitcase in which you put your shoes in."
B (Where) is not the answer, because

B- is the best answer. A- is also ok.
But "in the suitcase.." is just clear enough without the clause.
