1. Ask yourself a questions to which this is the answer.
The question would be: In which country do people drive on the left?
Thus when you fill the blank in sentence, use "in which". Similarly "where' is also justified, because this sentence answers the question: Where do they drive on the left?.


2. Here "is' or "are", is used with "the students", which is plural. Hence "are" is the correct word.

1. where
2. is. Referring to 'One'.
Read this: Some of the students who study over there are my son. Same mistake, 'Some-are, One-is'.
Do you see the relationship?

I agree with bibliophile's answer

1. In which
2. Is (if it were 'some' students it would be 'are' but it is singular)
