Sentence Correction

Hi,

Can some one explain me the right sentence

Wrong: Uninterested in the lecture, the Orator put most audience to sleep.

I know this sentence is wrong because the modifier "Uninterested in the lecture" is modifying "the Oratoe" and not "the audience"

Right: The Orator put most of the audience, which was uninterested in the lecture, to sleep.

Is which the non essential modifier right or should it be who?

My answer would be: The Orator put most of the audience, who was uninterested in the lecture, to sleep

can someone tell me why it is "which" and not "who"?

I think your construction

"The Orator put most of the audience, who was uninterested in the lecture, to sleep" is wrong because it uses was instead of were because most of the audience is plural entity and what I feel is that for audience we need to use who rather than which because audience comprises of people & we need to use who for people

HI,


Who are is fine, but the answer given to the above question uses "which" in Manhattan Gmat SC

So I was seeking for explanation why it is "which"?

Thank you.
