A writing problem from pr. Help!

<p>Tibet, one of several Asian regions PARTIALLY COVERED BY mountains, CONTAIN, IN ADDITION, fertile areas IN WHICH grains and vegetables grow.</p>

<p>The answer was CONTAIN. just a agreement problem (CONTAINS)</p>

<p>IN WHICH was kind of weird, I thought it would be WHERE. </p>

<p>whats the difference between IN WHICH and WHERE ?</p>

<p>thx. p.s. is princeton review tests easier or harder than bb tests?</p>

<p>Where specifies a location. </p>

<p>In which can also specify a location, but it is more specific than saying where. Note the preposition. Using a preposition + which is more specific than simply saying where.</p>

<p>You can also say on which or by which. The preposition adds detail. </p>

<p>That is the box on which I left my book. (The book is on top of the box).</p>

<p>That is the box by which I left my book. (The book is beside the box).</p>

<p>That is the box in which I left my book. (The book is in the box). </p>

<p>–</p>

<p>I don’t recommend relying on one’s ear. In which is correct, despite how awkward it may sound to you (it sounds OK to me). </p>

<p>Learning the rules is the best way to do well on the grammar questions.</p>

<p>yea thx. ^</p>
