Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task is to choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: 'The 1930s was a time _____ there was a lot of unemployment and poverty in the United States.'
Option 1: 'which' — Using 'which' to introduce a clause after 'time' would not form a proper relative clause in this position. 'a time which there was' is ungrammatical in standard English because 'which' typically introduces a non-restrictive clause that modifies a noun, not a clause that asserts existence. This makes the sentence awkward or incorrect.
Option 2: 'that' — 'a time that there was' attempts to create a restrictive relative clause, but in this context the clause describes a temporal situation, not a specific time identifiable by the noun 'time.' In formal usage, 'a time when' is the natural and idiomatic choice to express a temporal circumstance accompanying the noun.
Option 3: 'when' — This option correctly links the noun 'time' to the accompanying clause about the temporal context: 'a time when there was a lot of unemployment and poverty.' 'When' is the appropriate relative adverb to introduce a time-based clause, yielding a smooth and idiomatic sentence.
In summary, option 3 correctly forms a grammatically natural temporal clause, whereas the other two options produce awkward or ungrammatical constructions due to misalignment of relative pronoun usage and temporal meaning.
