  2. Engraving is a process [which] the surface of metal is [first covered] with [an acid] and then inscribed with some sharp [instrument]. A. a B. b C. c d. d Correction: in which Explanation: We need a preposition here. Remember this tip: In an adjective clause, if we have a complete sentence after which or whom, then we probably need a preposition. Here's another way to understand this question: The noun that is modified by the adjective clause is process. The word process is part of the adjective clause. If we change the adjective clause to a sentence, we would have this sentence: The surface of metal is first covered with an acid and then inscribed with some sharp instrument in this process. You can see from this sentence that we must use a preposition. Question 1
