In the office I never seem to have time until after 5: 30 p.m., _____c_____ many people have gone home.
A. that   B. which   C. whose time   D. by which time

答案是D. by which time 相当于 and by that time。但是by which不是已经相当于when了吗?再加一个time不是重复了吗


答:
拿 during which 和 during which time 为例:

给你几个例句看下(来源google)

5. ... registry will occur on 9/24/2006 from 9 PM to 9:45 PM EDT, during which time you will be unable to register, renew or manage .

这些都是google上搜到的原版英文句子,可以看出一个规律:

during which的 中心语(先行词)大部分是表示时间段的名词例如 period 等;
而 duiring which time 的中心语(先行词)常常是具体的时间如 5 years 等。


相关参考:介词+which+time 引导定语从句,which做定语(during which time等)
