Hello,
This is a discussion, which will talk about the discrepancy I faced in relative pronoun.
Okey!
We know that the Relative Pronoun will indicate a very previous noun in a sentence.
But for some cases, experts are saying that sometimes it can cross the very previous noun and jump over to the very first noun of a sentence. And they said you need to plug your LOGIC here.
Okay, so for some logical purpose, it may break the touch rule.
But, when it is time to fix the verb form of the dependent clause, it actually makes me
Because look at it, She is one of the writers who present quality material
Logically, who indicates SHE, and "present" is the verb for this subject. So, it must be "presents".
However, it is now playing on touch rule. "who" capture the very previous noun "writers", and this makes the verb to be in plural form.
Now tell me, how can I understand when to play in logical mode and when to play in touch rule mode?

There is no touch rule.
You have to use logic at all times.
Even in your example, you basically used logic to determine what's going on.
If there is any rule, the rule is that the relative pronoun refers to the closest logical antecedent.
- The roof of the house, which is being renovated, was originally covered in tile.
Since "house" is closer to "which" than "roof" is, and since they both could be "being renovated," we go with "house" as the referent of "which."
Anyway, use logic at all times.
