Totally had a lapse here, but what does "which" refer to in this hypothetical example.
I put the mango in the fridge, which was heavy.
Does 'which' refer literally to the last word, so 'fridge', or since it's a preposition we naturally ignore it and it refers to 'mango'
Not entirely sure and would appreciate the help!

which in this example can refer to only fridge and not mango since
in the fridge is acting as an adverb prepositional phrase answering where to modify 'I put'
relative pronouns can modify far off nouns only in the following structure the head of the noun + noun modifier (prep phrase); this too depends on the context author is trying to convey.
Hope it helps!!
