English Grammar - Sentence Completion

Select the correct option: The board will convene next Friday, ___ final approval is expected.


Options:

  1. at which
  2. on which
  3. when
  4. whereupon

Right Answer: when

The blank introduces a non-defining relative clause that refers back to a point in time, namely 'next Friday'. The relative adverb used for time is 'when', which produces the natural sentence 'The board will convene next Friday, when final approval is expected'. Option one, 'at which', would need a noun such as 'meeting' rather than a day to attach to. Option two, 'on which', is grammatically possible with a date but reads stiffly and was not the key. Option four, 'whereupon', implies that one event happens immediately as a result of another, which distorts the meaning. Hence 'when' is correct.
