One proper sentence? ambiguity
Howdy!
If you could have a look at this sentence and tell me how you understand it. Is this sentence correct?
During that period a sudden and adverse reaction took place against advanced knowledge and technology that had led to the development of weapons of mass destruction.
What led to the development of weapons of mass destruction? One can argue that it's not very clearly stated here. I mean... grammatically it seems to be allright, but I'm not sure if it was that sudden and adverse reaction or knowledge and technology that led to the development of weapons of mass destruction.
Hmm... or maybe I'm just picking holes...
Thanks anyway!

yeah, I think you're right Clive... I think I'm just always having this funny feeling about being hyper-correct...
