I've been looking up this grammar rule about the word "which," but I can't find what am looking for. My question is what is the word "which" referring to?
Example: The banker who threw the frisbee at his boss floated to the ceiling, which was intriguing.
Does which refer to "The banker who threw the frisbee floated to the ceiling?" Is this true for all sentences, when the independent clause is separated by a comma followed by a which?
If I took out the comma, does which refer to "ceiling." Is this true for all sentences, when the sentence doesn't contain a comma?
Thanks for help
