4. Select the word that the relative clause modifies in the sentence.

The ushers, whom the manager paid to be friendly, did not treat the theater-goers properly.

Respuesta :

A relative clause usually begins with whom, which, or another word of that nature. The clause inside of the commas is your relative clause. What is this clause describing? That is what you need to ask yourself.

The correct answer would be "The ushers", or just plain "ushers". Hope this helps! ^_^
Ushers is the relative clause that modifies in the sentence.
