Can "which" refer to multiple preceding nouns ?

by JbhB682 Mon Dec 17, 2018 8:27 pm

Hi- was wondering if "WHICH" can modify multiple nouns

example :

- Land and equipment, which are used as collateral by farmers, were demonetized as part of the anti corruption drive in 2018
- Gloves, Bats and Balls, which we all carried with us, were all stolen from us.

Those examples seem fine to me: they make sense and the noun the 'which' is modifying is clear. Remember that modifier errors are mostly about illogical meanings or ambiguity.
