标题: OG16-80,81题
Companies are relying more and more on networked computers for such critical tasks as inventory management, electronic funds transfer, and electronic data interchange, in which standard business transactions are handled via computer rather than on paper.

(A) in which standard business transactions are handled via computer rather than on paper
(B) where computers handle standard business transactions rather than on paper
(C) in which computers handle standard business transactions instead of on paper
(D) where standard business transactions are handled, not with paper, but instead via computer
(E) in which standard business transactions are being handled via computer, in place of on paper

which的先行词是electronic data interchange 吗？

The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.

(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival

B答案为什么不对？OG的解释是It is not clear who would be doing the "proclaiming"; a clause is preferable to a phrase. Manhattan说了， "comma-ing" modifiers refer to the entired clause to which they are attached. 所以不太理解OG所说的not clear.

如果原句中有因果关系，正确答案也一定要保留这层关系吗？

虔诚求大牛解答！！！
今天状态好差，啥都看不进去

感激不尽啊啊啊！！！

which 只modify前面的名词（不一定是最近的名词）我想这题which 指代谁要看语义。OG上说which只是不能指代整个句子。

81题，proclaiming 修饰有模糊的地方（Olympic games 还是prugnacious states of Greek？）这个应该要看语义。proclaim的意思是宣布，主语应该要确定是谁，而不能是整个clause。

80题，which修饰前面的所有三项，如果单单修饰最后一项的话in which前的逗号是不需要的

81题体现了GMAT越发考察语义的倾向。首先理解原句的含义，原句的意思是说olympic helped是因为truce要被proclaimed。意思表达很清晰，不强调proclaim truce的主体。

B选项没有语法错误，错误在于直接点出olympic是proclaim的主体，明显改变了句意，在有D选项的情况下不是好的选择

proclaiming如果是修饰states, v-ing前面是不需要逗号的。", v-ing"作为副词，要么修饰整个句子要么修饰主句的谓语动词，因此这个句子不存在指代不清的嫌疑。在SVO, v-ing里，v-ing若修饰整个句子，v-ing往往表示由主句所引起的结果。这个句子里，应该是宣布了休战才有和平，而不是和平了才宣布休战。所以宣布休战应该是为什么说奥运会维护了和平的一个原因，而非结果。所以不能用,proclaiming. 而且，题目中有表示因果关系的in that，选项我觉得应该也尽量保持这层关系，否则会改变作者的意思（这个自己的小小猜测和理解，希望得大牛指导！）

80题，好像是修饰前三项，比较符合逻辑。

good explanation. The B changes the intended meaning.
