Question

Identify the implied or present relative pronoun in the following sentence:
He had to map all the terrain he could see.

• A. he
• B. terrain
• C. that
• D. could

Answer 1

The correct option is C that

The sentence requires a relative pronoun which always indicates a clause that is essential to the meaning of the sentence because it defines or identifies the noun it refers to. The clause here is "_ he could see" and the noun referred is "terrain". The appropriate relative pronoun is "that". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
