Relative Clause
Hi all. I wish to know whether the following sentences are valid.
1. Tom behaved in a disorderly manner in the party, which made him really awkward.
2. Tom behaved in a disorderly manner, which made him really awkward, in the party.
My true question is that is it necessary to put the relative clause right after the noun you wish to depict, as in example one? Would people think that what made Tom awkward was the party if I don't put the relative clause directly after the word "manner"?
Thanks in advance.
