106. Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute
for the telephone, a tool for private conversation;
instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for
communicating with a large, public audience.
(A) Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a
substitute for the telephone, a tool for private
conversation; instead, it is
(B) Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute
for the telephone, a tool for private
conversation, but which is
(C) Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for
private conversation that could substitute for the
telephone; instead, it has become
(D) Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for
private conversation, a substitute for the
telephone, which has become
(E) Marconi conceived of the radio to be a
substitute for the telephone, a tool for private
conversation, other than what it is,

本题答案是C
我的问题是that为什么不就近修饰conversation,而修饰tool 呢

我有一个理解，欢迎批评
that，包括“，+which” “it”，所谓的就近修饰，不是说一定是最靠近的名词，而是这个名词（名词短语）的中心名词。
比如这道题
as + 名词短语： tool for private conversation 中的中心名词是tool所以可以算就近修饰

这是我自己的解释，我真的不满意
可我如果想修饰conversation呢？
比如tool for private conversation that cannot be heard by others

这些怎么区分啊
我相信大家能找出好多例子
怎么把握这个就近的尺度呢？

187. (27622-!-item-!-188;#058&002521)

United States Senator Daniel Inouye was appointed to several posts within the Democratic party during his first term, that included assistant majority whip and vice-chair of the Democratic Senatorial Committee.
A. that included
B. which includes
C. including
D. some of which were
E. among them being

比如PREP中的这道题(C)
分词后置, 我从逻辑判断它不是伴随状语,则是定语(难道是我这一步错了?)
定语应该就近修饰,可是逻辑上又应该修饰posts
我现在都产生自我怀疑的情绪了
这是考我纠结的这个知识点的吗???
救我阿..

请求赐教

上面这道我明白了
including 是介词

可是第一个呢
难道仅仅能够通过逻辑判断吗
那个太玄幻，想求个脚踏实地的
谢谢
