这道题的c选项,OG上的解释说which 错误地指代了 red wine, 但是这里有一个of 结构,为什么不可以看成 which 跳跃指代 consumption ?
Eg:New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high- yielding varieties. 例子中that前的fertilizer是单数,但that后的were是复数,所以that只能被迫往前跳跃指代irrigation and application
类似的,如果关系代词指代人/物错乱,也只能被迫跳跃指代。
Eg:She participated in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, which were televised nationwide. 跳跃原因:which不能指代人,而且were复数,所以指代hearings无歧义
