Double restriction?
Hi, teachers.
In my opinion, the following sentences use “double restriction”.
e.g. Is there anything (that) you want that you have not?
Look at the example below. Are they double restriction, too?
Calcutta, the last major metropolis with a traditional rickshaw fleet still in operation, banned them following a state law passed last week declaring the vehicles inhumane.
"boldfaced" passed and declaring modify "a state law" respectively?
Yet it has become harder and harder for people to find anything to do or use that does not come with some built-in anxiety.
Do "the underlined" to do or use and that modify anything respectively?
Many thanks!
