1) However you look at the matter, you can't find... / No matter why you look at the matter, you can't find... Which one sounds better? For me both are ok.
2) It was because he didn't remember ... or not he had locked the door ... Jack went downstairs shortly after he went to bed.
a) whether/when b) whether/that I'd say a
3) The last tour of the competition was also when the excitement of the competitors was tangible. What's wrong with this sentence?
Thank you.
