I wrote "a qui" but "a laquelle" was marked correct...Why is "a qui" nearly correct and not correct when your examples show that both are correct?

pour m'être assisJe me demande que je sois dire < j'ai peur que je serai puni pour m'être assis à côté de toi>. En anglais ça veut dire <I fear that I may be punished for sitting next to you>. Autrement dit, je veux utiliser le temps futur. Quelque fois, j'essaie d'utiliser les temps différent que vous avez employé. Merci, Don
