ÎÒ也来举个例子：
165. ((Believed to originated fron a small area on their foreheads, elephants emit low-frenquency sounds that may be used ))as a "secret language" to communicate with other members of the herd.
(A).Believed to originated fron a small area on their foreheads, elephants emit low-frenquency sounds that may be used
(B). Elephants emit low-frequency sounds that are believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, and they may use this
(C). Elephants emit low-frequency sounds, believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use

Õâ¸道题选C， BELIEVED 和 THAT 都是用来修饰SOUNDS的吗？难道THAT不容易有歧义来修饰最近的名词FOREHEAD？

186。 The utility company has announed that it will permanently close its Unit I nuclear power plant, the first plant (that had been fuilt by private industry and) the model for a generation of modern nuclear reactors.
(A)
(B)built by private industry and which was
(D)built by private industry and

答案是D，为什么B不对？用BUILT 和WHICH来修饰PLANT，跟上一体很像啊，唯一不同是逗号和WHICH/THAT的区别。请大家讨论

1,GMAT有一个原则，在不改变原句意思的时候，要将定语从句简化成分词或形容词词组。believed to 便是that are believed to的简化形式。

C项中believed to...前后都有逗号，是作插入语修饰souds，that引导的定语从句如果是修饰前面的名词，是不允许在前面加“，”的，只有which 方可。

2，the first plant 与the model for 是平行结构，共同作nuclear power plant, 的同谓语。
