PASSAGE
A student is editing a complex sentence in her thesis: 'The evidence, the significance of which has been debated by scholars for decades, suggests a reinterpretation of the founding documents.' Her advisor tells her the embedded phrase 'the significance of which' is an example of a formal construction and asks her to identify both its grammatical function and a stylistically equivalent but less formal alternative.
Which answer CORRECTLY identifies the grammatical function of 'the significance of which' AND provides a stylistically equivalent, less formal alternative?
