Because Miranda, the smallest moon of Uranus, has a large number of different surface features, including craters, mountains, valleys, and fractures, some astronomers suggest that at one time repeated impacts broke the surface apart, and after which the fragments were subsequently rejoined because of mutual gravitational attraction.

(A) repeated impacts broke the surface apart, and after which the fragments were subsequently rejoined because of
(B) repeated impacts on the surface broke it apart, after which the fragments having rejoined with
(C) through repeated impacts that the surface broke apart, after which the fragments subsequently rejoined by
(D) the surface broke apart with repeated impacts, after which the fragments having rejoined through
(E) the surface broke apart as a result of repeated impacts, after which the fragments rejoined through

这题答案选E，没问题。我的问题是那个after which的which 从逻辑上指代的是前面的那整件事，可是which在gmat中不是不能指代句子吗？？？

thanks in advance.

我语法不是很好，但是我感觉after which 是不是when的意思，是一个状语从句~~~不确定，希望有高人回答

我又对比几道题，发现这个after which应该是前面部分的非限定型定语从句，which指代a result

Schoolintegrationplans that involve busing between suburban and central-city areashave contributed,according to a recent study, to significant increases inhousing integration, which, in turn,reduces any future need for busing.
(A) significantincreases in housing integration,which, in turn, reduces
(B) significantintegration increases in housing,which, in turn, reduces
(C) increasehousing integration significantly,which, in turn, reduces
(D) increasehousing integration significantly, inturn reducing
(E) significantlyincrease housing integration,which, in turn, reduce
正确答案为A，这道题中 OG的解释是 which明显指代 housing integration。
In choice E, whichclearly refers to housing integration, making the plural verb reduce incorrect.This question is of middle difficulty.
我也没想明白为什么从逻辑上可以指代A。
综合楼主的这道题看来，是不是能说，在GMAT考试中，所有的非限定型定语从句都是直接指代里他最近的名词？
如果是限定性的定语从句例如 OG12-126
126. The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption
that lying produces emotional reactions in anindividual
that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses.

A：that, in turn, createunconscious physiological
responses
B：that creates unconsciousphysiological
responses in turn
C：creating, in turn, unconsciousphysiological
responses
D：to create, in turn,physiological responses that
are unconscious
E：who creates unconsciousphysiological
responses in turn
答案为A 则可以跳跃指代

可是a的 significant一般不是不选么因为有显著的和极大程度上的两种歧义，一般不都用significantly吗？

TO LZ：WHICH肯定不能指代句子的，个人觉得which指代result。
