relative clauses
Hello everyone,
How many relative clauses are there in this sentence, two?
Anyone who is familiar with American media receives the impression that Americans are not too far removed from the days of the Wild West when guys with guns took care of business, both private and public.
There aren't any underlying relative pronouns, are there?
Would you have, by any chance, one sentence with let's say 2 evident relatives and 1 or 2 underlying relative pronouns?
Thanks in advance.

There is one relative clause in your sentence ( in red ) and one verbless relative clause equivalent ( in blue ). With guns could be replaced with who had guns .

- I am not sure what you mean by 'underlying relative pronouns' but if you mean relative pronouns that have been left out, the answer is: no relatives have been omitted.
- I'm sorry but I don't understand your last question.
