The non-restrictive attributive clause can be left out.
We can’t use “that” in it.
We can’t miss the relative words,
either.
Can you find the non-restrict attributive clauses in your reading, p 42,43
*I’m taking weight-loss pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here.
*My mother, whom you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous.
*Then the doctor found someone in your country, whose name is Li Dong, was an exact match for me.
It’s the same in China---many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous.
More examples:
He was very rude to the custom officers, which of course made things even worse.
The result of the experiment was very good, which we hadn’t expected.
He missed the show, which was a great pity.
Tip 1: Here, we know we can use “which” to refer to the whole main clause, and we can’t use “that”.
