Ex 1: This is a laptop, (which is) not a desktop computer.
The words in parenthesis are the reduced part. I was told this is a case of reducing a relative clause.
If so:
Ex 2: The government helped in a number of ways, (which are) from mediation to buildling consensus.
Is the above also a grammatically correct usage of a reduced relative clause?
I find it hard to find a web page that demonstrates this particular usage (one that is defining in nature with nouns in it - similar appositives).
I would appreciate it if somebody can find a link that demonstrates this particular usage.
