I agree that "that" should not be used in that sentence, but 'in which' could be used.
"and" is better than "or" because, strictly speaking, "or" means that you can do one or the other but not both.
"that" would be okay in the following sentence. 'An internet cafe is a place that allows you to check your email and surf the net.' |
