Adjective I found this sentence and I think something is wrong. "Laos has a land area comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north." I found "a land area comparable to" is awkward, because "a land area" is noun and "comparable" is adjective. I think it should be "a land area which is comparable to". Is there minor grammatical rule going on here?? Is something hidden between "a land area" and "comparable"?? I appreciate any kinds of your answers. Thank you :)
