In 1995 Richard Stallman, a well-known critic of the patent system, testified in Patent Office hearings that, to test the system, a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff's laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics.

In 1995 Richard Stallman, a well-known critic of the patent system, testified in Patent Office hearings that, to test the system, a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff’s laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics.
(A) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and (B) laws, which was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and it is (C) laws, namely, it was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and (D) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845, it is (E) laws that was an observation about electric current, first made in 1845, and is
OG对E的解释中有这么一句话:setting off the phrase “first made in 1845” in commas distorts meaning;请问这是什么意思?
另外,本人愚见觉得,后面...one of Kirchhoff’s laws, an observation ...中,an observation是作为Kirchhoff’s laws的同位语,而非one of Kirchhoff’s laws的同位语, an observation与laws不存在aggrement问题...
如果是要作one of Kirchhoff’s laws的同位语,我觉得后面应该是an observation of Kirchhoff’s laws ....

不太同意这个说法。。 MANHATTAN和PREP都明确提到,which是可以跳跃修饰的,关键前提是:1)修饰的对象是独立的主语结构/宾语结构;2)which后面的谓语和修饰对象单复数一致。08PREP里第210题的解析里面有一个专门讲which的说的很清楚A of B可以跳跃修饰A 也可以就近修饰B,只要满足前面的两个前提就可以了。 以上的我都比较确定哦。。 不确定的是题目的前半句话是不是满足第一个条件,也许这题的这种句式managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff’s laws就是属于不独立的宾语结构?这一点上open to discussion~
