As rainfall beganto decrease in the Southwest about the middle of the twelfth century, most ofthe Monument Valley Anasazi abandoned their homes to join other clans whose access to water was less limited.
(A) whose access to water was less limited
(B) where there was access to water that was less limited
(C) where they had less limited water access
(D) with less limitations on water access
(E) having less limitations to water access
OG中说 The possessivepronoun whose correctly refers to its immediate antecedent, clans, and modifies access;我想请问为什么不能指代Anasazi如果是根据逻辑意思决定的,那么为什么OG对C选项的解释又说They is ambiguous andmight refer to either the Anasazi or otherclans?请大虾赐教

不是所有的代词指代不清都是错误的,这是Ron在解释同类问题时反复强调的。A和C的区别应该是在于antecedent的选择,where指代的是location,不能指代clans

同意楼上说的,whose是个定语从句,它的先行词是clans.而where是个状语从句,所以they会指代不清

哦,也就是说这里they的指代的确ambiguous,但是指代只是相对性错误,而这里排除的主要依据是where和其先行词不匹配,这个是绝对性错误
