|
What is the antecedent of the relative pronoun �which� in the second sentence below?
1. 8,000
2. 8,000 leprosy patients
In 1990, PMS became an independent organization so that it could support Nakamura, and he resigned from the NGO. At present, PMS cares for about 8,000 leprosy patients in Afghanistan and the northwestern region of Pakistan, which is about 1,000 more than in 1982.
I think #2, but I�m not sure. What do you think? |
