Which sentence is correct?
Hi,
I met a sentence in a book:
1) "The most valuable find of all was the ship's log book, parts of which it was still possible to read."
If I wrote, I'd like to scrape the 'it' from this sentence, that is:
2) "The most valuable find of all was the ship's log book, parts of which was still possible to read."
Which is correct? 1) or 2) ? Thanks!
