<p>The heat was already <em>overwhelming and lasted a week, which duration made it seem</em> sheer torture.</p>

<p>I don't think there is such a phrase as "which duration."
I've only heard of "whose duration."
Isn't "which duraiton" grammatically erroneous?</p>

<p>Personally, I think that if the writer is trying to say that the week-duration made the heat seem like a torture,
he or she should say "... lasted a week, which made it seem... "; that way, the relatvie pronoun "which" will directly indicate "week," the antecedent. Right?</p>

<p>Collegeboard website tells me that if I do as above, the "which" will have an unclear antecedent.</p>

<p>Can anybody tell me how to correct the sentence?</p>

<p>“overwhelming, and its lasting a week made it seem”</p>

<p>which duration makes no sense lol</p>

<p>thanx herozero1234 xD</p>

<p>do you know by any chance if the verb " to last " is an action verb? (I don’t think so, since it does not describe a kinetic action like " to run ")</p>

4

<p>^^^
“To last” is a noun. All infinitives are nouns.</p>

<p>(Someone correct me if I’m wrong.)</p>

5

<p>no i mean the verb itself; :)</p>

<p>f.y.i., a to-infinitive can be used in various ways: adjective, adverb, noun</p>
