How is the structure?
Hi, I can not realize structure about this sentence.
These cognitive and neurological benefits are instantly apparent, but there occurs a host of social, cultural and personal benefits, among them the ability to explore a culture through its native tongue or talk someone with whom it might otherwise not be able to communicate.How can the writer use two noun with out comma(them the ability)?
but there occurs a host of social, cultural and personal benefits, among them
S V O , O and O , preposition + Noun
Some one told me that in that case, Be verb is removed like this exmaple
ex) I bought four fruits, two of them (were) apple, the other (were) orange
-> I bought four fruits, two of them apple, the other orange.
So, I just wondering what original sentence is. And when can I remove the be verb

- "...
- a host of social, cultural and personal benefits.
- " The second sentence is an inversion of "The ability to explore a culture through its native tongue ...
- is among them", though in practice the inverted form would be common, especially in a longer sentence such as this, where "among them" might otherwise feel lost at the end.
