黑洞是一個太空的區域,在那裡重力的拉力是如此的強大,以至於沒有事物可以逃脫
此爲先行詞和地點有關的副詞時形容子句 where =in which
1. 關係副詞=介係詞+關係代名詞
2. escape from... 逃離；逃脫
所以這題如果有from which也可以選 A black hole is a region of space where the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing can escape.
=A black hole is a region of space which the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from.
=A black hole is a region of space from which the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing can escape.
whereas如果放在句中，意思就是"然而；但是"，就跟while和but是一樣的意思，用以引導與前句語意相反的句子。放在句首也可以表示"雖然"，這時候意思就是相當於although和though。
eg. The English test is quite difficult whereas/while/but the math test is very simple
英文考試相當困難然而數學考試則非常簡單。
eg. Whereas/Although/While/Though the country has spent millions of dollars on educational reforms, students' academic performance didn't improve much.
雖然這個國家花了幾百萬在教育改革上，學生們的學業表現沒有多大進步。
whereas如果放在句首，多半用為法律用語，表示"鑒於；由於" (=because of the fact that...)，也類似since表"既然；由於"的意思。
eg. Whereas the people in this area have been devastated by war for years,the United Nations proclaimed that the peace-keeping forces will be sent here.
鑒於這個區域的人民已經被戰爭蹂躪數年，聯合國宣布維和部隊將被送至此處。
