标题: 求问一道语法题og16 sc64！定语从句的先行词问题～
64. In ancient Thailand, much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended for the creation of Buddha images and when they constructed and decorated the temples that enshrined them.
(A) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended for the creation of Buddha images and when they constructed and decorated the temples that enshrined them
(B) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined
(C) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images as well as constructing and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined
(D) creating images of Buddha accounted for much of the local artisans’ creative energy, and also constructing and decorating the temples enshrining them
(E) the creation of Buddha images accounted for much of the local artisans’ creative energy as well as construction and decoration of the temples that enshrined them

正确答案是b，小女有疑问的是：句尾的那个in which they were enshrined 不会有指代不明的嫌疑吗？这里面的they 指的是上述三项工作的成果吗？

恳请赐教～谢谢大家～

个人理解，指代不明的适用首先要满足逻辑句意，也就是有两个及以上的对象能使这句话logical.

本题中，be enshrined被供奉的只能是temples，不能说工作成果被供奉，所以不存在指代不明的情况。

您好！首先感谢回答啦。不过我考虑下来，觉得temple 是这个定语从句的先行词呀，换过来应该是
in temples they were eshrined.
被供奉的肯定不是temples呀～

虽然只有可能是那些成果被供奉，但我的疑问是这些成果可以用一个they来指代吗？

就近原则，they指代的肯定就是temples,指代很清楚。你大概是想太多了。

作者: masaki006 时间: 2016-6-7 22:02
个人认为就近原则这里并不适用，正如楼主自己说的，in temples they were enshrined. 我也是这么理解的。
你看A选项，出现的那个them就应该是B中的they，所以B中应该指的就是creation of images吧。大部分时候A选项表达的是原意，当然有不少特例。
个人感觉GMAT对指代不明容忍度不是很低，ACDE明显错。they这个问题每个选项都有。所以应该不是考点，所以研究指代不明应该不用以这种题为例。还是看那些明显涉及到指代问题的题目比较好。
纯属个人意见，如有错误，还请各位指正。

对的对的我后来第二次做到的时候，主要放注意力就在 expend sth on ..... 还有平行这两个知识点了。然后这个指代我就是心知肚明一笔带过，劝自己不要纠结！.....

我懂你意思啦！谢谢～

突然找到了专业的解释，虽然你已经不纠结了，但希望这个能帮到你~
因为which指代temples，所以they就无歧义的指向之前唯一一个复数名词images（摘自prep08语法笔记）

好哒～ 08语法笔记我也看了怎么都没找到的说！
嗯嗯！那等于只有images 被 enshrined 咯～谢谢！

From my opinion, "they" refer to. Images and temples
X was expended on A and on B in which they was enshrined .Obviously, they refer to a and b
From other points, in which could be equal to when
Use when repalce In which ,you could earlier to find out who is the antecedent.
Another opinions from Manhattan Prep: The unclear pronoun in the sentence could be ignored to some degree.
In short, except the disagree of the singular and plural of the antecedent , do not pay much attention on the pronoun in detail.
