关于定从that修饰的问题。搜不到。谢谢

对于A of B that...的结构中，that后面为定语从句修饰，那么that修饰的是B还是中心词A呢？

多谢。

例如下面一句话：The development of a new jumbo rocket
                that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.（OG103）

that修饰的是哪个词？

自己沙发。

that紧贴修饰的名词。

不一定，要視句子邏輯意思而定，最好的一個例子是 list of animal that exhibits那題，

我認為本題的that是修飾development,a new jumbo jet can not carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration.

唉。对的。。受教。
