[讨论]关于同位语的困惑

今天在看破解prep的语法笔记中看到prep-1-150：

The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.

(A) million, which is part of a deal that will make

(B) million, a part of a deal that makes

(C) million, part of a deal making

(D) million as a part of a deal to make

(E) million as part of a deal that will make

答案是E没有问题，但是笔记中在对C的错误解释是part of 表示同位语，但deal和million不是同类，所以不能做同位语。

我知道同位语是一定要修饰同一个概念的，但这里的解释隐含的是同位语是就近修饰million的，我认为不对，同位语可以以一个概括性的词语来修饰前面的一段话的，prep的98题就是一个很好的例子：

98.   (29799-!-item-!-188;#058&004009)

A decade after initiating the nation's most comprehensive and aggressive antismoking program, per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs annually per person to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as in the nation as a whole.

(A) per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs annually per person to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as

(B) annual per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs to about 60, more than twice as great as that

(C) California's annual per capita consumption of cigarettes declined from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as the drop

(D) California has seen per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs annually to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as that

(E) California has seen annual per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as that

这题答案是D，这里的a drop就是做概括性同位语修饰前面的decline from over 125 packs annually to about 60的，如果按照就近修饰的解释，那么a drop和60也不是同一个概念，是不能修饰的。

所以同位语是否只能就近修饰前面的词，还是能修饰一段话，我很困惑，请NN指点，也请大家多参与讨论，毕竟同位语在SC中还是经常出现的。

帮顶!

我觉得这里C主要的错误补在于同位语用错,而是时态, C 用了making 分词, 表示伴随状态, 而E  用will,与 will purchase 一致

我觉得950M这些钱是主句的从属部分，同位语一般修饰主句的主要部分，比如主语，宾语等

个人看法，大家指正

我认为同位语有时候修饰的是整个句子,而不局限于主语或者宾语,比如prep-1-98。这种修饰尤其对概括性的同位语适用，不知道大家什么看法。基于这个原因，我认为150的B和C错误不是因为同位语的原因，而是其他原因。
