GWD28-Q30:

Unlike the body’s inflammatory response to cuts and sprains, with widespread swelling and stiffness immobilizing the injured area until it heals, the body’s response to sunburn is more localized and resulting in a distinct line dividing affected and unaffected areas of the skin.



A.with widespread swelling and stiffness immobilizing the injured area until it heals, the body’s response to sunburn is more localized and resulting

B.where the injured area is immobilized with widespread swelling and stiffness until it has healed, sunburn generates a more localized response in the body, which results instead

C.with the injured area immobilized by means of widespread swelling and stiffness until healing, sunburn generates a more localized response in the body, one resulting

D.in which widespread swelling and stiffness immobilize the injured area until it has healed, the body’s more localized response to sunburn results

E.in which widespread swelling and stiffness immobilize the injured area until healing, instead, the body’s more localized response to sunburn results


虽然这是道争议题，但是我们不去管它，正确答案我觉得是D，
我想知道的是D中的in which 为什么可以修饰response ，而A中有一个错误是with  widespread swelling and stiffness可以向前修饰也可以向后修饰，那么向前修饰的话到底修饰的 response呢还是修饰的cuts and sprains ，为什么有人说是cuts and sprains，我觉得应该是response啊？呼唤大牛 详细解答啊，以前讨论过的人都没这个疑问吗？都没人问的

好，所以按照KIKIMM的引据，应该不管是in wich 还是with的向前歧义修饰其实都是修饰response的哈？这样我倒是觉得比较合理了.

觉得这题BT，总结下思路，以后好挖帖复习。。。借楼主地方哈。。

1. with...放在句中，可向前修饰，也可向后修饰，歧义，排除AC
2. where只能修饰具体地点，排除B
3. instead和unlike语义重复，排除E

in which为什么可以修饰response？

manhattan SC里面有个点我觉得可以回答这个问题(Page 234, Modifiers: Exceptions to the touch rule)：

按manhattan的解释，response to cuts and sprains in which...句型中，to cuts and sprains是修饰response的成分，如果没有to cuts and sprains，response就没有意义了（因为这个句子就是在比较两个不同的response，要是这个response没有修饰，它就没意义了）。

因此to cuts and sprains必须紧跟response，而不能变成response in which...to cuts and sprains

一言以蔽之，把to cuts and sprains看成定语，in which修饰response

另，it指代the injured area

继续呼唤大牛
