Question

Which of these is grammatically correct?

A) Instances WHERE hydrogen-fueled zeppelins proved fatal are the Hindenburg and R101 disasters.

B) Instances IN WHICH hydrogen-fueled zeppelins proved fatal are the Hindenburg and R101 disasters.

Answer 1

I would say B is correct.

Answer 2

That's what I''m leaning towards but I can't find anything concrete to back it up. Thanks!

Answer 3

I try to think of it like this.. instances are not "where's" they are "what's". If you were speaking of locations it would be "where's"

Answer 4

The answer is B.

Answer 5

This pops a bit better: The Hindenberg and R101 disasters are instances in which hydrogen-fueled zeppelins proved fatal.
