Correct answer: that
Explanation: The word 'that' serves as a conjunction introducing a clause that explains what Einstein stated. It fits grammatically as it connects the main clause to the subordinate clause, maintaining the flow of the sentence.
Meaning: 'That' is used to introduce a statement or explanation.
Wrong options:
- this: 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun that refers to something nearby or just mentioned, which does not fit as it does not introduce a clause.
- on: 'On' is a preposition that does not serve to introduce a clause and is grammatically incorrect in this context.
- into: 'Into' is a preposition indicating movement towards the inside of something, which does not fit the grammatical structure needed here.
- occurence: 'Occurence' is a noun and does not function as a conjunction, making it unsuitable for this blank.
- happened: 'Happened' is a verb in the past tense, which does not fit as it does not connect clauses.
Correct answer: occurence
