Correct amendment to the following sentences, to remove multiple "AND"s [closed]
Solution 1:
(1) You can avoid the arguable garden-path effect here ( ... that weren't A and B and C) simply by adding a second 'that' (though the comma is arguably sufficient):
- Part of the brief was to create easy open plan spaces that weren’t clinical and cold, and that worked with a modern lifestyle.
(2) Here, the addition of a comma is certainly sufficient to show that the second 'and' is 'higher-level':
- Key to the success of the project was to create a house that felt easy and relaxed, and where none of the aesthetics felt forced.
The effect is to 'promote' the second 'and' to an obvious relative-clause-coordinator. Some might like
- Key to the success of the project was to create a house that felt easy & relaxed, and where none of the aesthetics felt forced.
But this is messy and better reserved for complex lists.
[References covering the disambiguation of different coordination levels of 'and' in various sentences, other than in lists, potentially extremely difficult to find.]
