Sentence structure
May I ask for your help please? The sentence below is a question from 'Eiken' (Official English Proficiency Test in Japan) and I don't know why this sentence is grammatically correct.
"What does the author of the passage suggest is demonstrated by the way the Mosuo raise their children?"
I can understand they tried to combine these two sentences. But is this way really correct?
1)What does the author of the passage suggest?
2)Which is demonstrated by the Mosuo raise their children.
I would be happy if you give me some advice. Thank you for your help in advance!!

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation, Califjim-san!! I have never expected such a great responce!! Because of your help, now I clearly understand how this sentence is made up. Also I found that I mixed up the usage of these relative pronouns, 'what' and 'the thing which'.
And thank you again, Cool Breeze-san!! uh, that question is also mine.... I mistakenly dropped same ques
