A comma separates parts of a sentence. This could be done for many reasons. When we follow a comma with a preposition, such as "with," we are often about to give a description of the preceding clause. When we follow a comma with "in which," however, we are about to specifically describe the preceding noun. The second case is thus more restricted as a modifier. In both cases, however, what is being tested is modifier usage.
