Which &
Hi everyone,
In the following sentence, is it correct to use "which"?
Shouldn't it be something different?
If you have any idea about the use of "which" in this context, please let me know some.
And for the second sentence, shouldn't it be a passive form, "was absorbed in"?
Or is it still alright as it is?
Your comments will be a great help for me.
Thanks.

Sophia continued to sort through some old books when Kevin absorbed in the details of the accident.
