Usage / examples of "of which" [closed]

Could anyone give me some examples or rules for using ", of which"? I mean only ", of which", neither "which" nor ", xxx of which". Any idea is appreciated.

p.s. She discovered so many spiders, of which she was most afraid. - Cool Elf

Is it possible, that "of" is not an essential part of the verb in the relative clause?

Solution 1:

"Of which" is part of a relative clause.

"Which" is the relative pronoun and "of" is a preposition placed at the beginning of the relative clause, instead of at the end.

A few examples of this construction are:

1. She discovered so many spiders, of which she was most afraid.

2. He answered all the listening and reading exercises, of which the test mostly consisted.

3. The team won a silver medal, of which they were very proud.

Note also that you can place "of" differently:

1. She discovered so many spiders, which she was most afraid of.

2. He answered all the listening and reading exercises, which the test mostly consisted of.

3. The team won a silver medal, which they were very proud of.
