Problem 13 - Entrance Test

Choose the sentence with the correct use of 'that' or 'which'.

A. The book, that I borrowed from the library, is overdue.B. The book that I borrowed from the library is overdue.C. The book, which I borrowed from the library is overdue.D. The book which I borrowed from the library, is overdue.

Correct: B

'That' introduces essential clauses (clauses that are necessary to identify the noun). 'Which' introduces nonessential clauses (clauses that add extra information but aren't necessary to identify the noun), and it is set off by commas. In this case, the clause is essential, so 'that' is correct.
