Question

He is wearing the kind of clothes I wear.

==================
In the sentence above, what is the antecedent of the relative clause?

1. clothes
2. kind
3. the kind
4. the kind of clothes

Which one among the four?

Answer 1

The relative clause is "(that) I wear." <b>What</b> do you wear?

Hint: It cannot be "clothes" because that word is serving as an object of the preposition "of."

Answer 2

Then is it 'the kind of clothes'?

Does "I wear' modify 'the kind of clothes' or 'clothes'?

Answer 3

The antecedent of the relative clause is "kind."

"I" and "wear" are the subject and verb in the relative clause, and those words don't modify anything.
