Read the following book review to answer question.

A novel that captures the mind-bending early weeks of parenthood

(by Audrey Wollen)

 

The plot of Kate Briggs's début novel, "The Long Form," is deceptively bare: Helen and her baby, Rose, live through a day together. They have, so far, lived through almost six weeks' worth of days, spent in constant closeness.

 

But the definition of a "day" begins to fall apart. In the morning, a book arrives at Helen's doorstep: "The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling," by Henry Fielding, published in 1749. The tome accompanies Helen and Rose through their day, between cries, bounces, park walks, lots of looking, some panicking, dozing, and a number of cups of tea. The book is laid down and picked up again, a world entered and departed – like another kind of baby, without the mortal risk. Briggs interfolds two activities that upturn the weight of standardized time: novel reading and baby care.

 

"The Long Form" is ultimately gripping, with all the satisfactions of more traditional narratives, albeit in unprecedented places.

Comentário do professor

A novel that captures the mind‑bending early weeks of parenthood.
Na frase, that funciona como pronome relativo com antecedente em coisa: novel.

Por ter referência a um objeto inanimado, ele pode ser substituído por which, pois ambos introduzem a oração relativa que descreve ou especifica o substantivo anterior.

A oração é restritiva: identifica qual romance realiza a ação de “capturar” essas semanas iniciais de parentalidade. Nesse uso, which mantém o sentido e conecta o antecedente à informação essencial que o define.

Portanto, a substituição por which é gramaticalmente adequada porque o pronome relativo refere‑se a uma coisa e introduz uma cláusula que especifica o substantivo.
