Question

Join the sentences given below using who, whom, whose, which as suggested.
I often go to Mumbai. Mumbai is the commercial capital of India. (Which)

Answer 1

Hint: The above relative pronouns mentioned in questions – who, whom, whose and which are a part of relative clauses or adjective clauses. An adjective clause or a relative clause is a group of words that has a Subject and Predicate of its own.

Complete answer:
The adjective or relative clause does the work of an adjective and qualifies some noun or pronoun. An adjective or relative clause is introduced by:
Relative pronouns - who, which, whom, whose, etc and
Relative adverbs – where, why, when, etc.

By using such relative pronouns or relative adverbs, we join two or more sentences together. In the given question, it is suggested that to use ‘which’ while joining the given two sentences.

So, the answer to the given question is: I often go to Mumbai which is the commercial capital of India.

Note: A relative clause is one type of dependent clause which has a subject and verb, but can't stand alone as a sentence. It always starts with a “relative pronoun,” which substitutes for a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun when sentences are joined and can be used to give additional information about a noun. Rules while using relative clauses are:
- If a relative pronoun ‘whose’ is used in place of the possessive pronoun, it must be followed by a noun.
- Relative clauses which give extra information must be separated off by commas.
- The relative pronoun ‘that’ cannot be used to introduce a non-defining extra information clause about a person.
- One should not omit the relative pronoun, if it is the subject of a defining relative clause.
