Type of use/accuracy.
A red herring is an aspect in the narrative which detracts from a relevent or important issue in the story, used as a plot device.
which is used as a plot device.
What do we called the underlined element in this sentence and what is the difference with examples that use subordinate conjunction and the ones that won't work without them. Here you can use 'which is' or not.
And on this sentence from Wikipedia:
Georgie sails the boat along the rainy streets of small town Derry, and is dissapointed when it falls down a storm drain.
Is the comma accurate as it's not joining an independent clause is it? Or do we just omit the 'name' for the sake of repetition so it's implied? I'd be inclined to not use the comma as it feels like it's connecting a fragment.
