标题: 【求助Verbal分册新题】OG解释颠覆了我对which的理解，请帮忙分析！
OG17Verbal分册新题：

(Book Question: 245)
In 1974 a large area of the surface ofMercury was photographed from varying distances, which revealed a degree ofcratering similar to that of the Moon’s.
   A.  which revealed a degree of crateringsimilar to that of the Moon’s
   B.  to reveal a degree of cratering similar tothe Moon
   C.  revealing a degree of cratering similar tothat of the Moon
   D.  and revealed cratering similar in degree tothe Moon
   E.  that revealed cratering similar in degreeto that of the Moon

Correct Answer: C
Selected Answer: C
Logical predication; Parallelism
This sentence’s second clause, expressing what the imaging of Mercury showed, must be linked to the first clause in a grammatically correct way. This is best done either by an appositive relative clause (requiring the relative marker which), or by a clause starting with a nonfinite verb (to reveal or revealing). Also, whatever is said to be similar to a degree of cratering (on Mercury) should also be a degree of cratering (on the Moon); this must be expressed clearly.

A The use of which is correct, but that of the Moon’s is inferior to that of the Moon, because the possessive’s and that of the redundantly express the same idea. That of the Moon’s appears to refer, illogically, to cratering of some unspecified thing that belongs to the Moon, not cratering of the Moon itself.
B To reveal is acceptable, but to the Moon incorrectly compares a physical entity (the Moon) to a degree of cratering.
C Correct. Revealing is a good way to start the second clause, and to that of the Moon properly contrasts two degrees of cratering.
D And is incorrect as a way to introduce the second clause; to the Moon makes the wrong sort of comparison.
E That is not the correct way to introduce an appositive relative clause. That is typically used restrictively, whereas the comma preceding it makes the ensuing clause nonrestrictive. This leaves the meaning unclear.

答案是C，我选对了。但看OG解释的时候发现OG认为用which也是可以的，这个解释颠覆了我之前对which的理解——GMAT中，which不能指代一整句话或整件事。
OG的意思是：
1.which指代“a large area of the surface ofMercury was photographed from varying distances”这个句子
2.不定式做结果状语

如果改成这样，3个句子都是正确的：

A.In 1974 a large area of the surface ofMercury was photographed from varying distances, which revealed a degree ofcratering similar to that of the Moon.

B.In 1974 a large area of the surface ofMercury was photographed from varying distances, to reveal a degree of cratering similar to that of the Moon.

C.In 1974 a large area of the surface ofMercury was photographed from varying distances, revealing a degree of cratering similar tothat of the Moon.

请NN们帮忙分析一下：以上的理解是否正确，还是我头昏理解错了

求解。。。。。。。。。。。
which 为什么呢？

个人理解，这里的which并不是指代In 1974 a large area of the surface of Mercury was photographed from varying distances这一句话，而是指代 a large area of the surface of Mercur。
主干结构里， S：area V:was photographed。which是能够跳跃修饰的，根据逻辑意思，如果就近指代distances，距离揭示了与月球表面的相似度，显然不合逻辑。因此，which只能跳跃修饰a large area of the surface of Mercury，而且能和that of the Moon平行。

除非有s－v agreement的问题，which是不能跳跃指代的。一定是指代最近的名词。

而且你的逻辑有很大问题，是因为只能指代最近所以不合逻辑，而不能说因为不合逻辑所以就跳跃指代了。

还是想不明白

看到A说which是对的，一脸懵逼

作者: Microscope 时间: 2017-12-13 11:41
which是不是可以指代前面主谓结构中的主语 a large area呢，然后which就合理了

作者: thge 时间: 2018-9-27 16:15
是有点目瞪口呆

which只能修饰就近名词吧
