[Grammar] The ad glamorized life in the army, emphasizing travel and adventure.

[newkeenlearner]

Is the bold part a non-defining adjective clause that describes "life" in a sentence?

The ad glamorized life in the army, emphasizing travel and adventure.

How about my analysis?
The ad glamorized life, which emphasizes travel and adventure, in the army.
The ad glamorized life in the army, which emphasizes travel and adventure.

No. It is a participial phrase describing 'ad'. "The ad, emphasizing travel and adventure, ------"

Did the ad glamorize life? Does 'life' emphasize travel and adventure in the army? I don't think so.

Does the army emphasize travel and adventure? It might use that as a gimmick but I don't this is the ultimate goal.

Please stick with the original.

Thanks for your explanation.
I got it.
Should it be something like?

The ad glamorized life in the army, which emphasized travel and adventure.

No. Like this:

Although this rephrasing may help you better understand the sentence, it's still not identical to the original so stick with the original.
