================================
Question : Change the underlined part into a relative noun clause.
Answer. : who live

This question is from a middle school textbook's workbook. The answer is "who live".
Is it because of personification of ants or is it wrong? Doesn't it have to be "which live" as the residents are an animal?

Secondly, there are no such things as 'relative noun clauses'.

Thirdly, get a better exercise book.
