Audience, who/which is
Hi,
this is a good one, lol. Do I use who or which with audience, in non-restrictive clauses?
But the audience, who/which is trying to follow the main story, is probably not paying much attention to characters like the janitor or the math teacher, so...
I know I have to use "who" for people, and "which" for objects... but I've never known what to use for groups of people or collective nouns (like "team", for example).
What should I do?
Thanks

, are probably not paying ... , but which is sounds borderline acceptable as well. Or just reword the whole thing -- somehow.
