Essential vs Non-Essential Information

Expert replies

Hi all,

Below listed is a question form 1000 S.C's and i am aware of the fact that this was discussed many times earlier

In ancient times, Nubia was the principal corridor where there were cultural influences transmitted between Black Africa and the Mediterranean basin.
(A) where there were cultural influences transmitted
(B) through which cultural influences were transmitted
(C) where there was a transmission of cultural influences
(D) for the transmitting of cultural influences
(E) which was transmitting cultural influences


How ever i have a specific question reg elimination of all options having "which" (by determining if the information presented by which is essential or non-essential)

In above case i discarded option B since i thought this info after which was essential (since this was the only piece of info that was in the sentence) but option b is the correct answer

Experts please explain

Thanks

Hi,

If the information beginning with "which" is offset by a pair of commas then it is a non-essential information

if information begins with "that" and is not offset by a pair commas then it is essential informations

Hi Mission2012,

Thanks for the clarification

So if i have words like in which,of which etc then information followed by which is essential

Am i correct?

Thanks

Rule - When information beginning with "which" is offset by comma - Non essential modefier

There is not consistent rule when "which" is in combination with preposition such as "in which" or "of which".

For e.g.

The team, for which Sachin plays, is called "The Indians". - Non-essential
The team for which Sachin plays is called "The Indians" - Essential.

It again depends on the meaning of the sentence
