School integration plans that involve busing between suburban and central-city areas have contributed, according to a recent study, to significant increases in housing integration, which, in turn, reduces any future need for busing. | A. significant increases in housing integration, which, in turn, reduces | B. significant integration increases in housing, which, in turn, reduces | C. increase housing integration significantly, which, in turn, reduces | D. increase housing integration significantly, in turn reducing | E. significantly increase housing integration, which, in turn, reduce |
答案是A。Just focus on A:
如果A是正确的,那which应当指代housing integration后面reduces作为housing integration的谓语动词,问题:
1. 根据句子意思,应当是increases in housing integration这件事导致了未来busing的need降低啊,但A的意思是housing integration这件事本身导致reduce
2. manhattan里有专门讲过跳跃修饰,其中有一条称作a mission critical modifier falls between如下:
This modifier is often an Of-phrase that defines the noun. The lessimportant modifier refers to the noun plus the firstmodifier. Right: He had a way OF DODGINGOPPONENTS that impressed the scouts. ü Here, the"mission-critical" modifier of dodgingopponents defines the noun way.Without this modifier, the noun way isalmost meaningless. ü In turn, the modifier that impressed the scouts modifies the entire noun phrase a way ofdodging opponents. It helpsthat the relative pronoun that cannot refer to humanopponents, according to the GMAT 难道只有Of才能跳跃修饰吗?这里which是否可以跳跃修饰Increase呢?我当时做的时候因为觉得which修饰Increase, reduce主谓不一致所以把A排了。
综上,更理想一点是不是siginificant increases in housing integration, which, in turn reduce...
这里which修饰Increase, reduce和increase主谓一致?
希望大神解答,谢谢。
