OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Written by Benjamin Nugent and published in 2008, American Nerd is a lively and entertaining book, in which the author lays his own social flaws on the line, asking the reader to consider whether they are really flaws at all.
A. book, in which the author lays his own social flaws
CORRECT
B. book, in which the author lays his own socially flaws
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. Socially is incorrect as flaws is a noun, and an adverb (socially) cannot describe a noun.
In addition, replacing the plural noun flaws with the singular flaw changes the meaning of the original sentence.
C. book, in whom the author lays his own social flaws
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The relative pronoun whom can only be used to describe humans.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: who, which, that, whose, whom
D. book, in which the author lays his own socializing flaws
While this answer choice is grammatically correct, it changes the meaning of the sentence by replacing social flaws with socializing flaws, an expression which is much more specific and relates directly to social interactions.
E. book, in whom the author lays his social flaws
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The relative pronoun whom can only be used to describe humans.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: who, which, that, whose, whom
