1.
The caterpillar of the
geometrid moth strikes when special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed,
after capturing its prey, holds the
victim so that it cannot escape.

(A) strikes when
special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed,

(B) striking when
special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed, but

(C) which strikes
when special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed,

(D) which,
striking when special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed,（E）C头重脚轻

(E) strikes when
special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed and,

1, 除了头重脚轻，C有什末不好?

2, so that it ..., logically, 'it' should refer to 'victim', but is there ambiguity?

OG 171; King sought to have his marrage to Queen annulled so that he could marry to Anne.

Is there any criterion we can use to judge what a pron. refers to ?

snazzy，真是佩服你每次分析问题都这么清晰这么有条理，learn from you!

1、

C改变了句子重心。将本来应该做主句的部分变成句子的从属成分。

C中so that it....中的it优先指代The caterpillar of the geometrid moth（从句主语优先指代主句主语；和前面its一致）

2、

E中的it不会发生指代错误

The caterpillar of the geometrid mothstrikes when special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed and, after capturing its prey, holds the victim so that it cannot escape.

因为这是一个并列句。so that it....里面的it优先指代后半句中的victim

sorry,snazzy，代词指代是ets的杀手锏，没有固定的原则，你翻看一下前辈的讨论贴看看有没有帮助。

thanks, ecsniffer,

o that it....里面的it优先指代后半句中的victim? --->how did u get it? how about this one;

OG 171; King sought to have his marrage to Queen annulled so that he could marry to Anne.

--- frankly, i have noticed the same rule in GMAT

c 中 which 修饰优先为geometrid moth

Snazzy, 我记得以前有一次回贴时提到了关于which的用法，不知你有无印象，是说在GMAT语法中，which只能修饰不定式定语从句，即它之前必须有逗号。或者它之前有个介词，比如 of which 之类的。直接跟在被修饰的名词之后的定从只能用that, (修饰人用who). 这个原则只试用GMAT语法，你可以发现它非常适用，所以这里C可以排除。ecsniffer说的改变句子重心也是原因之一。

关于代词指代，这里说的是“优先”指代，并不一定是绝对。比如下面一个例子:
Even though its per capita food supply has hardly increased in two decades, stringent rationing and planned distribution have allowed PRC to ensure nutritional levels of 2000 calories per person per day for its population.

比如这里加下划线的its指代的是PRC，而不是stringent rationing and planned distribution.

以下是引用Snazzy在2004-3-5 15:09:00的发言：

嘿嘿，snazzy，我也晕了

The caterpillar of the geometrid mothstrikes when special tactile hairs on its body are disturbed and, after capturing its prey, holds the victim so that it cannot escape.

这里的it和its根本指代不同的东西

不好意思，我说这里的it优先指代victim的确没什么道理

代词指代，反正ETS这样用就是对的，我们这样用就使错的。

另外，C的which限制性修饰会造成歧义。
