用that 有错么？ 如果用when的话，written in the year when ....就OK了 不是多余个same 么？这可是很重要的一个helping word~

即使when 是正确的，

GMAC也不会单纯考察when ,that 吧？

同意楼上对same的解释，不过第一次读跟楼主一样困惑

露比Alice

我怎么觉得在这里same只是一个简单的形容词修饰year 和the same as结构不一样，如果是the same  as 表示和..一样  应该用于平行结构，the same year as the year when/in which
b选项用来the same。。as。。但是不平行
a选项 as从句中主谓不一致 谓语是was而不是were
c选项 虽然用that引导同位语从句修饰year且主谓一致
d e 改变句意
