这道题为什么跳跃修饰不行呢？很简单，但是就是不明白~~

187.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
此题答案是C，我理解，但是D 答案呢？which可以跳跃修饰posts吧，Which与post之间隔的是介词短语啊？为什么不能跳跃修饰那？

From Manhattan

all constructions built on preposition + "which" - such as of which, from which, some of which, with which, etc. - must be used in the same way as "which" itself.

(b)"which" incorrectly applies to "first term"

mission critical modifier 这个词是我从ManhattanGMAT 中看到。 来举个书中的例子吧

He had a way OF DODGING OPPONENTS that impressed the scouts. 这里 of dodging opponents 是修饰way。。但是如果拿掉的话就不能清楚的表达是那种way impressed the scouts. 所以这里的that是跳跃修饰 a way 而不是 opponents.

如果which前面有逗号的话就说明这个modifier 是 non-essential modifier，就是整个modifier拿掉这个句子还是成立。 比如说

Our system of Presidential elections favors states, such as Delaware, that by population are over-represented in the Electoral College.

这里such as Delaware就是non-essential modifier， 拿掉的话不影响句子。 注意such as Delaware前后都有逗号。

就是说限制性修饰短语是不可以被which跳跃修饰短语前面的名词，而非限制性的修饰语可以跳跃，是这个意思吗？？

楼上说的对，我觉得D主要错在改变了句子原意，本来说的是include，怎么就变成some了呢？而D的修饰应该是没问题的吧，如果单看D这句话应该没错吧。

如果跳跃修饰应该是which include

我觉得只有前面的modifier是mission critical modifier的时候才可以跳跃，这里 “within the Democratic Party during his first term” 的确是修饰post 担不是mission critical. 而且 如果which可以跳跃修饰的话那前面不能有逗号。有了逗号就说明是 non-essential modifier。  

不知道这么说LZ能理解吗？
