We were put in a position-----we had to either attack the la

第一空填:where
考查定语从句,position作先行词,且在定从中作地点状语,因此用where 引导定从.
where =in the position
第二空可以填which.
如:They must behave in a way which will be socially acceptable.
他们的行为举止必须得到社会的认可才行.
来自《简明英汉词典》
第二空填:that/which
这是个定从,先行词为way ,且在定从中作主语,故用that/which引导定从.
句意:我们处于这样的境地,要么以和平的方式攻击法律,要么..
只有当way作方式状语时,才是不能用which,而是用that或in which
如:I don't like the way that/in which he speaks .我不喜欢他说话的方式.
