provided that & in that
I came across the following question:
" This is an ideal site for a university ____ it is far from the downtown area."
1) provided that 2) now that 3) so that 4) in that
I chose A at first , but the answer is D. I am not sure why A is not correct although D seems also correct to me.
Give me your idea, please. Thank you!
