The title of which, which title
Hi!
A book says only the first sentence is acceptable. I don't know why the second sentence is not acceptable.
The movie The Wizard of Oz, _________ is taken from the book of the same name, has been a children's favorite for years.
a) the title of which
b) which titleThanks for your help.
Tom
I have to admit I don't either, except that b) is a little more formal and fussier-sounding--but maybe I'm missing some fine point of grammar.
Oh, I think I see--the subject of the sentence is the word "movie", not "The Wizard of Oz"; and "movie" isn't a title. That's why.
