Question
The inhabitants of Somalia greeted the measures outlawing polygamy with a similar defiance that welcomed the prohibition of alcohol in the United States in the nineteen twenties.
Answer: Option D
:
D
In English, instead of saying something like "that that" we say "that which."
For example:
'The number we recorded this week is greater than that which we recorded last week' is preferable to 'The number we recorded this week is greater than that that we recorded last week'.
In this sentence 'The number we recorded this week is greater than that which we recorded last week'
that = number and
which = number
Notice that this sentence equals 'The number we recorded this week is greater than the number that we recorded last week'.
So in our sentence here, we want to say:
The inhabitants of Somalia greeted the measures outlawing polygamy with a defiance that was similar to the defiance that welcomed the prohibition of alcohol in the United States in the nineteen-twenties.
