i read somwhere that the usage of "in that" is not correct in old english. In modern english "in that" is informal and ok to use.

what do you guys think?

According to the OG - I don't remember which question it was - but in an explanation as to why an answer was wrong, it stated that 'in that' has largely gone out of use and advised to use more conventional phrase. And, if it was not right long ago (it might be why it went out of use), that seems to be an additional reason why its not a good phrase to use.

I remember this explanation, but I can't remember which problem this is.

Look at this recent question:
https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/t53348

Is E correct? If so, "in that" is in the sentence.
Can some verbal expert confirm that "in that" is not right in GMAT?
