Answer:
The correct relative pronoun to use in this sentence is D. which.
So, the completed sentence would be:
"In 1919, Henry Goldrup bought a plot of land in Maine for three hundred dollars and transformed it into a tourist attraction **which** became known as the Desert of Maine."
Here's why "which" is the correct choice:
- "Which" is used to introduce a non-restrictive (or non-defining) relative clause, providing additional information about the noun (tourist attraction) but not essential to identifying which attraction is being referred to.
- In this case, "which" introduces the clause that specifies what the tourist attraction is ("the Desert of Maine"), providing additional information about it.
- The use of "which" is appropriate here because the clause that follows ("which became known as the Desert of Maine") adds descriptive detail rather than specifying a particular attraction out of several.
Other options:
- A. "who" and B. "whom" are used for people, not for inanimate objects like tourist attractions.
- C. "whose" is used to show possession, not to introduce a relative clause that describes the noun.
- E. "that" could be used in restrictive clauses (where the information is essential to identifying the noun) but in this sentence, a non-restrictive clause is needed, so "which" is preferred.
