when 和 in which 在定语从句中的差异
The Second World War ____ millions of people were killed ended in 1945.
A.when B.where C.in which D.which
这个题目考查的是定语从句的用法.定语从句 millions of people were killed是一个完整的句子,因此应选择关系副词才对.我们知道,定语从句之中when=in which表示一个时间,但本题目为什么选C而没选A?
有的参考书上说这里选in which是因为in which在本句中表示抽象的地点即“在二次世界大战中”，但本人的理解是during the Second world war才表示的是时间从而选when。

Answer 1

定语从句是比较麻烦哦,但不用纠结,只要从头到尾梳理一下,一步一步来,就比较清晰了.^^*
这个题里面的先行词是The Second World War（n.）,主句是The Second World War ended in 1945.
这里可以用最简单的方法,除掉所有主句成分,把选项（when,in which）和先行词（The Second World War）代进剩余部分（millions of people were killed ）,看符不符合句意,一般定语从句在选择连接词时也很常用.
A就成了：When The Second World War（n.） millions of people were killed.
C则是：In the Second World War millions of people were killed.
这时候你就会发现,‘when’后面的成了名词,而when是副词,副词修饰动词和形容词,所以就可以排除掉A啦!
