The correct answer is Option (4) → when
Option 1 → where
-
Meaning: Refers to a place or location.
-
Example: This is the house where I was born.
-
Why wrong: The word “time” is not a place, so “where” cannot be used.
Option 2 → how
-
Meaning: Refers to the manner or way in which something happens.
-
Example: I know how he solved the problem.
-
Why wrong: The sentence talks about time, not the manner in which something is done.
Option 3 → that
-
Meaning: Used to introduce a defining clause (to identify which person, thing, or event).
-
Example: The book that you gave me is interesting.
-
Why wrong: After words showing time (like day, year, age, period), we use when, not that.
Option 4 → when
-
Meaning: Refers to a particular time and introduces an adjective clause describing that time.
-
Example: I remember the day when we first met.
-
Why correct: “Youth” refers to a period of time, so “when” is the correct connector.
Final Answer: Option 4 → when
Correct Sentence: Youth is the time when the seeds of character are sown. |
