Why couldn't the emperor get back to the palace?
1. Because the boat in which the emperor and his wife were broke.
2. Because the boat which the emperor and his wife were in broke.
3. Because the big waves broke the boat which the emperor and the empress were in.
(Which answeres are correct?)
Because the emperor and empress were in a boat that big waves had broken.
Based on the provided options, it seems that options 1 and 3 are correct, while option 2 is incorrect.
To determine the correct answer, we can break down and analyze each option:
1. "Because the boat in which the emperor and his wife were broke." This option implies that the breakage of the boat prevented the emperor and his wife from returning to the palace. The use of the phrase "in which" correctly indicates that the emperor and his wife were inside the boat when it broke.
2. "Because the boat which the emperor and his wife were in broke." This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase should be "in which" instead of "which".
3. "Because the big waves broke the boat which the emperor and the empress were in." This option suggests that the boat broke as a result of being hit by big waves, thus preventing the emperor and the empress from returning to the palace. So, it is also a correct answer.
In conclusion, options 1 and 3 are both correct, while option 2 is incorrect due to a grammatical error.
