1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.
(A) occurring when a child
(B) occurring when children
(C) that occurred when a child
(D) that occurred when they were children（D）
(E) that has occurred as each was a child
Choice D is best. The phrasing a divorce that occurred when they were children correctly uses the relative clause that occurred to modify a divorce and includes a pronoun and verb (they were) that refer unambiguously to their antecedent, men and women. Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase with occurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child; furthermore, the singular child does not agree with the plural men and women. B replaces child with children but otherwise fails to correct A’s errors of structure and logic, and C corrects only the error created by occurring. Choice E includes an incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as. Also, each was does not properly refer to men and women.
请问粗体该怎么理解?多谢了
偶的理解是divorce是occuring的逻辑主语，而在when引导的从句中省略的是divorce的主角。原句的意思变成divorce在它还是孩子的时候就发生了。
when后面可以接句子，分词，形容词。但不能接名词。
另外，that+从句修饰名词表示一次性的动作。v-ing修饰名词表示反复性的动作。
thanks for your two explaination! I get it !!

To 冥石之舞 I feel that when can be followed by a Noun for example:
When still a boy of six, Bob was sent away from home. (章振邦 p1155)
The key is the consistence with the subject of the main clause.
