GMAT真题（机考界面）第27题答案是不是有错？

第27题有点不明白, 请大牛们关照关照:
The electronics com has unveiled what it claims to be the world's smallest network digital cam, the legth of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weights less than 11 ounces.
B. to be the smallest network digital cam in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing
D. is the world's smallest network digital cam, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs.

C&E 明显错了. 我选D, 但答案是B. 有点faint: 如果 what is claims 后不能跟 is the...., 那答案也应该是A而不是B．B中的which 好像是修饰the world. 是不是答案错了？

Agree with you. I think A.

hi, buddy, i can't agree with u. the reasons r:
1, 'what it claims' here is object, u don't want to use ' is' afterwords. However, 'is' will be acceptable if 'what ti claims' is a subject. eg. 'what US claims is MDW in IRAQ'
2, 'which' modifies 'cam', not 'in the world', which is adv. clause

2, 'which' modifies 'cam', not 'in the world', which is adv. clause

Thanx, agree with your first point.
Point 2. according to sentence meaning, "which" here is definitely used to modify "camera", but in Gmat, it should, with some exceptions, modify the noun it immediately follows---here the "world"--sounds ridiculous.
another problem in B is what is "weighing less than...", of course the camera. but in B it seems the handheld computer, or the whole sentence, is weighing less than 11 ou.

1, logically, the prep. phrase 'in the world' modifies 'cam', therefore 'which ' should modify the noun of main clause
2, since 'which...' is a modifier, 'weighing' should, of course, refer to the main clause as well.

still dont' agree? anyway, i need to go to bed. leave a message, i will come back tomorrow. Good night, folks.

which一般修饰最近的名词，但也可以跳过最近的修饰之前的一个名词。
我觉得B中的weighing确实有歧义，应该用and weighs更好。

看看b中的weighing和被修饰的对象之间隔了多远！

A应该不对吧？

因为A中两个“it”指代的是不同事物啊
