Just to be clear: “when” was the correct answer for the plastic bags question.

It was not until 1982 when I got a car.

It was not until 1982 that I got a car.

The first construction is a fragment. When I read it, I’m still left wanting a “that” (like, "It was not until 1982, when I got my car, that I graduated from high school.).

Also, evidence is singular, so the verb should have been singular.
