OKAY... soooo
"In this book, the writer will describe how he developed the criteria WHICH he feels are of greatest importance for the evaluation of economic policy. Is that right? So I fixed the criteria bit, and I changed "that" to "which"... right?? |

Criteria is inherently most important. It's stupid and redundant to say that. Are you trying to reach a certain number of words? |

Why should I care about the writer's feelings?

In this book the author will describe how he developed the criteria for the evaluation of economic policy that he feels is the most important.
Umm nevermind. Even the Woodsman and Little Red Riding Hood couldn't save this grammar. |

underYa wrote:no. which is nonrestrictive. so if all criteria are of greatest importance (which would follow GameShowMyAss's point of view), then it's "criteria, which..." but if he is only developing some of the criteria, then it's restrictive-- "criteria that he feels ..." But if this is some lame-ass homework assignment, just stick with the original and go with the subject/verb agreement within the subordinate clause (criteria/are) and see if that gets you through. |

In this book, the writer will describe how he developed the economic policy evaluation criteria. Word economy. It's a beautiful thing. |

In this book, the writer describes the process by which he developed standards (principles?) he deems critical to the evaluation of economic policy.
