Grammar refresher

2. Bill was fired from his new job, which made him despondent.

Good! You answered correctly. The answer is NO. The sentence is grammatically incorrect.

The sentence is ambiguous. It is unclear from the sentence what "made him despondent." Did the firing make him despondent? Or was it the new job?

Suggested re-works: "Bill's firing from his new job made him despondent." Or "Bill's new job made him despondent, but he's happy now: he got fired."
