Hi all, I'm left with (C) and (E).Why we need "in which"?
You will realize it better if you understand how we derive "in which" construction.
The children play in the park. Government ordered the renovation of the park. We can combine both, by altering the construction of the initial sentence.
Government ordered the renovation of the park in which the children play.
So, now you realize how E works :
A mix of water and chemicals are blasted under-ground to create fissures in gas-bearing rocks in a drilling technique known as "hydraulic fracturing" A drilling technique known as "hydraulic fracturing" has made XXXX.
So, this sentence works in the same way as above.
Where as, when we use "which", it acts as a subject, here as a performer of the action. The techniques itself does not blast .... but the blast take place as a part of "the" technique.
Hi all, I'm left with (C) and (E).Why we need "in which"?
C changes the meaning of the original sentence. According to C the technique ----->blasts a mix of water and chemicals(action is done ) Actual sentence describes the process IN the technique Hope its clear

A)in which a mix of water and chemicals are blasted under-ground to create fissures in gas-bearing rocks, has made (a mix is singular so usage of 'are' is wrong) B)in which a mix of water and chemicals is blasted under-ground to create fissures in gas-bearing rocks, making(Grilling technique is making extraction of gas totally awkward) C)which blasts a mix of water and chemicals under-ground to create fissures in gas-bearing rocks, has made (hydraulic blasts a mix of water and chemicals)[color=#000000] D) which is a mix of water and chemicals blasted under-ground to create fissures in gas-bearing rocks, [color=#ff0000]have made (A drilling technique is singular) E)in which a mix of water and chemicals is blasted under-ground to create fissures in gas-bearing rocks, has made (Correct)
A drilling technique known as X - singular - eliminate D
B lacks main verb -run-on sentence
The non-restrictive clause describes what happens in the technique so C is eliminated.
a mix of X and Y - "is" over "are"
E
