请教OG10-78

78. The root systems of most flowering perennials either become too crowded, which results in loss in vigor, and spread too far outward, producing a bare center.

(A)  which results in loss in vigor, and spread

(B)   resulting in loss in vigor, or spreading

(C)  with the result of loss of vigor, or spreading

(D)  resulting in loss of vigor, or spread

(E)   with a resulting loss of vigor, and spread

Choice A misuses which: as a relative pronoun, which should refer to a specific noun rather than to the action of an entire clause. A also produces the unidiomatic and illogical con­struction either... and. Choice B properly uses a verb phrase (resulting ...) instead of which to modify the action of the first clause and also correctly completes either with or, but the verbs following either and or are not parallel: spreading must be spread to match become. Choice C is flawed by the nonparallel verb spreading and the wordy phrase that begins with the result of. Choice E is similarly wordy and uses and where or is required. Choice D--concise, idiomatic, and parallel with the rest of the sentence--is best.

答案是D没有问题，但是答案的解释

“Choice A misuses which: as a relative pronoun, which should refer to a specific noun rather than to the action of an entire clause.”

Which是可以引导非限制定语从句修饰整个句子的呀

如果答案A为

which results in loss in vigor, or spread 算正确吗

当然用分词形式的  resulting in loss of vigor, or spread 会简洁会更好，我只是想知道为什么非限制性定语从句在这里不能使用。

这个规则在GMAT语法里面是绝对不允许的

which 99% 就近指代名词

谢谢easy4meeeeee的回复

这样的特例有没有归纳好的文档呢

(A)  which results in loss in vigor, and spread
                        

(B)   resulting in loss in vigor, or spreading
                        

(C)  with the result of loss of vigor, or spreading
                        

(D)  resulting in loss of vigor, or spread
                        

(E)   with a resulting loss of vigor, and spread
                        

答案是D没有问题，但是答案的解释

which 引导句子暂且不论，这里，它是指代前面整个句子的内容，是become too crowded 导致了loss in vigor，

指代整个句子的内容是GMAT里100%不允许的。

which的用法在GMAT里面比较建单，就是逗号＋which一定指代逗号前面那个名词

只有一个例外，如果逗号前面是....length / height of sth., which....（length / height等表属性的名词）的时候which才有可能跳跃修饰前面的表属性的那个名词

这样的例外也就只有一道题 应该在GWD里面
