126. The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption
that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual
that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses.
(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses
(B) that creates unconscious physiological
responses in turn
(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological
responses
(D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that
are unconscious
(E) who creates unconscious physiological
responses in turn



Correct: A

求问大牛们，为什么这里的that 不修饰individual 而跳跃性修饰前面的reactions.

in an individual
做状语。对吧

别的选项都错的比较明显。。
至于A，我试着解释下
首先，从逻辑上，后边的内容都是解释reactions的。
其次，人的指代用who，这里不会产生歧义，如果that指代了individual可能还更awkward。
此外，个人认为可以把emotional reactions in people就当成一个整体表示核心词reactions，而且记得笔记里有说过that是可以跳过介宾短语修饰核心词。
