Hi Instructors,

could you pls help me with this SC

Jean-Jacques Rousseau contended that man is good only when in “the state of nature” but is corrupted by society,that compels man to compare himself to others.

• man is good only when in “the state of nature” but is corrupted by society, that
• only man is good when in “the state of nature” but is corrupted by society, that
• man is good when in “the state of nature” but is corrupted only by society, that
• only man is good when in “the state of nature” but is corrupted by society, which
• man is good only when in “the state of nature” but is corrupted by society, which

I'm really confused between option A and E. I know 'which' is used when talking about something specific and 'That' is used in general terms, So in this context we are talking about a society that not specific but a general one, so i guess which should make more sense. Also does the comma before that in the first option make it the wrong option??? why is it so??

don't bump your own posts - it pushes you to the back of the line. unfortunately we can't do anything with this one because we need a source before we can help with this question..
