Hi, Mr. Clive!
You are correct. OXFAM is the correct word.

My answer is "C. in the Second World War" because "OXFAM" has existed since the early 1940s. I understand that the early 1940s means 1941, 1942 & 1943. (While Oxfam was founded in 1942). Does Option "D" mean "exactly in the middle of the Second World War?"

So, what's the difference between "in the 2nd World War" & "in the middle of 2nd World War", Mr. Clive?

Hi,,

'In the middle' is sometimes mean exactly, sometimes not.
But it woiuld always sound odd to me to say 'In the middle' if you meant eg 1939 or 1945.
