Question

It was above all the French,fllowed closely by the Americans.分析句子
It was above all the French,fllowed closely by the Americans,who were the most passionate exporters of the new invention,helping to start cinema in China,Japan,Latin America and Russia.
这里那个who 指的是 French 还是 Americans 还是这两者?

Answer 1

who指的只是French,因为followed closely by.是插入语,这里可以省略.who引导的定语从句是修饰French的.
