我的问题是：在C中，written in the same year that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published, 总感觉应该把that 改为when才对；而且这里似乎应该用关系副词， 而不是用关系代词吧？ 我错在哪儿啦？ 请各位指点一下。
这个题目在《刘振民语法》的第10章as的用法有讲过。 这个题目的考点是then same . . . as的用法，其中as可以被that替换掉。根据这个原则就可以筛选出C和A两个答案。可是又由于从句的主谓一致的问题，就可以得到C。
你的想法是正确的，你怀疑这里用关系副词是有道理的。因为前面是一个表示时间的名词，所以看上去似乎应该用关系副词不用关系代词。可是，你在the same year前面也应该看到了一个in。所以从句就变成了如下结构： . . . . . in the year ( ) . . . was published 这个时候你再看括号里应该是填that还是填when呢？我想你一定会毫不忧郁地填that。填when应该是如下的这种情况： It was the year when . . . was published.
