Question

The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.

• A. occurring when a child
• B. occurring when children
• C. that occurred when a child
• D. that occurred when they were children

Answer 1

The correct option is D that occurred when they were children

child ruled out as "young men and women" is plural. A and C hence ruled out.

Between B and D, D makes sense as "that" correctly refers to divorce and "they" to young men and women.
