Hi there,
I think I could eventually come up with a proper example. :-D
Please do not get bothered as I am asking same question that I asked in another thread. Just let me know whether the syntax in each sentence is correct or incorrect.

#1 The vase of flowers, kept in the balcony, attracts people's attention.

#2 The vase of flowers, which is kept in the balcony, attracts people's attention.
#3 The vase of flowers which is kept in the balcony attracts people's attention. (No comma)

#4 The vase of flowers attracts people's attention, which is kept in the balcony.
#5 The vase of flowers attracts people's attention which is kept in the balcony. (No comma)

Thanks!

If you change "in" to "on" (it's "on the balcony"), then 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

4 and 5 are wrong because it suggests that the thing which is kept on the balcony is people's attention.
