[Grammar] participle or relative clauses

[danghuynh88]

Hi teachers

I am confused by the way of using relative and participle clauses. I used one example from my report writing. Can you please tell me which one is corrected?

Both of these are good. Notice I corrected the verbs in the second to the past tense.

The bar chart reveals which countries appeal to UK residents the most in 1999.
The bar chart reveals which countries appealing to UK residents the most in 1999.

These two are not correct.

The bar chart reveals which countries appealed to UK residents the most in 1999.

This is correct.

This is correct.

It's grammatically correct. Since the charts show which countries UK residents visited rather than inquired about or wished to visit, they don't really tell us which countries appealed the most to Brits. In my experience, Brits tend to find Florida strangely appealing, yet they often visit Ibiza instead.
