 Re: on relative pronouns ( in which)
my guess is that the 'in' is necessary as in the following:
the elephant and the mouse preferred to swim 'in' that stream.
you could probably rephrase the sentence into:
It was the stream which the elephant and the mouse preferred to swim in.
However though, some people think it's wrong to end a sentence with a preposition, and hence the switch?
