Dear Dr Hariri
What’s the meaning of
1. whose purpose was to be silly.
2″This class quickly degenerated into kids …”
Hi dear Dr. Hooshmand,
1. … asked a vacuous question whose purpose was to be silly
Whose here is not used to ask a question. In contrast, it refers to the question. In fact, whose purpose means “the purpose of the question”. Another example:
This is the book whose font is so tiny. = This is the book and the font of the book is so tiny.
2. The formal class with normal students turned into a playground (degenerated) where only kids were gaining advantage over each other (one-up) in a competitive way by asking silly questions from the teacher, and the situation became chaotic and uncontrollable.
