"Which left Jess to do the work as usual"???
Please look at the following sentence.
"Which left Jess to do the work as usual"
It is from a part of the novel called " Bridge to Terabithia".
[Q]Is the sentence possible in grammar? How can "which" come without antecedent? Is that "which" an interrogative pronoun? Why is there no question mark "?" there?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
