<p>Alice Hamilton pioneered industrial medicine research, which is why many health hazards were unconvered.</p>

<p>This sentence is wrong because “which” refers to the noun before it, CORRECT??!?
So “which” refers to “medicine research”</p>

<p>“medicine research is why many health hazards were uncovered” is WRONG, rather it should be “ALICE HAMILTON’s PIONEERING OF RESEARCH is why many health…”</p>

<p>Right? I want to know if I am properly understanding what “which” does.</p>

<p>The “which” is ambiguous in that it can refer to either:

  • Alice Hamilton
    or
  • Industrial Medicine Research</p>

<p>Could be –> “Alice Hamilton pioneered industrial medicine research, an action that led to the uncovering of many health hazards.”</p>
