x for y+定语从句：定语从句修饰谁？-og164

164. The commission proposed that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is obtained through a local bond issue.

(A) that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is

(B) that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early next year, be

(C) funding for the development of the park, perhaps open to the public early next year, to be

(D) funds for the park’s development, perhaps open to the public early next year, be（B）

(E) development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year, is to be

1 Choice A attaches the relative clause which could be open... to the noun development, when, in fact, it is the park that could be open.

2 Choice E, which seriously distorts meaning, says that the commission proposed development funding and that such funding could be open to the public....

请大家对比一下，A它说的就是定语从句修饰for后面的development，而E它就说的是修饰for前面的funding。

我马上快考了，麻烦大家解惑，十分感谢！

参下面帖子第9页89楼，ETS给了新的解释。其实这道题我认为ETS自己也混乱的很，E中的which应该指代park。

谢谢，我已经看了，xdjm's真是眼里不揉沙子。

我想问这个问题是做og85遇到的，

85.   Out of America’s fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A) things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C) things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing（B）

(E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

解释我就不贴了，反正就是看A和B在定语从句上的区别：用are就决定定语从句修饰复数的名词，用is就是修饰单数名词。像这样一个有嵌套的结构，x for y of Z,后面跟的定语从句想修饰谁都行，只要单复数一致。所以，我就看了164发现又不是想修饰谁都行。那通过ets的新解释我是不是可以认为，其实还是想修饰谁都可以的。

我认为的确是修饰谁都可能，关键在于是否会引起混淆，即语法上(特别是主谓)或逻辑上是否会出现指代混乱，比如85的解释All of the choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and fixtures, or fixtures alone, are reviving the particular pieces mentioned. 由此可见，ETS对逻辑指代还是看得十分重的，当然，通过住谓一致，我们也可以迅速排除一些选项。

顺便再举个例子以加深理解，OG补充set2-16题D选项 The program for modernizing the steel mill, which can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980’s and cost approximately 51 million dollars. 在这里，ETS给出的解释是：At any rate, it is not clear in choices D whether the modernization program or the steel mill is supposed to be completed in the late 1980's. 明显体现出逻辑指代的重要性。
