in the way为何不可以引导状语从句

She was teaching me _______ you would teach a younger child to speakthe language.

A. the way     B. in the way

为何B不对？不可以选B，然后看成定语从句吗

She was teaching me _______ you would teach a younger child to speak the language.

A. the way     B. in the way

就对错而言，两个都对；就好坏而言，前者优于后者。现代英语，the way 独立用作连词已很常见，方法状语还是比较状语同属一个大类，这不是问题。
