搜过以前的帖子，可是发现木有人出现我的问题啊~~请大家帮忙看看
初一看题，我就把found in Puerto Rico in 。。作为修饰 sloth的定语了，但是看og的解释found in Puerto Rico in 是修饰fossils的，请问为什么found in Puerto Rico in 。不是就近修饰sloth呢？


谢谢大家帮忙回答~~

我觉得最奇怪的是原句是限制性定语从句，正确选项改成了非限制性定语从句，这是为什么？ ...

我觉得是重要性不同的原因。

私以为，
这句话的重点在于表达两件事：1）化石被发现了 2）这一发现很重要，证明了···
所以，这一化石在那里发现的，并不是特别重要。

总结了一下这个帖子前面几位的说法，和楼上ID为SherlockedJohn的给力回答，觉得到底修饰谁是一个很奇妙的的东西。
比如这道题原句里面，Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in PR...
found in与其说是是修饰Fossils， 不如说是修饰Fossils of the arm of a sloth
具体原因请参见我楼上的解释，说得很好。

另外，到底是修饰紧挨着的词还是跳跃修饰，似乎并无定论。
还是要在理解意思的基础上再去判断有没有语法错误。
（这句话我现在理解的也不好，只是隐约感觉到这种说法似乎是对的...哪位NN可以提供下思路或者例证，在下不甚感激！）

SherlockedJohn

已知“, which”和“that”都适用于这个准则，那么推测各种非限定性和限定性修饰语都适用此准则。(IMO)

SherlockedJohn

想了半天终于想起一个比较有关联的知识点，我觉得应该就是这个道理：
【摘自别的大牛】
●什么叫做"mission-critical" modifier，this is a MEANING issue.
一个是modify。
一个是define。
注意这两个动词的区别。
比如我说： "a ratio"，鬼知道"a ratio"是个什么咚咚，你必须要给出definition: "a ratio of ______"
那么这个"of ____"就叫做"mission-critical modifier"
所谓的跳跃修饰的一种情况，是说跳跃这样的"mission-critical modifier"
比如一个句子里面 "a ratio of ____ that is Y....."
后面的"that is Y"就是跳跃修饰这个ratio，确切说修饰"a ratio of ___"
看看Manhattan给的例子，体会一下什么叫做"mission-critical modifier"：
Right: He had a way OF DODGING OPPONENTS that impressed the scouts.
因为单独的"a way"什么都不是，所以必须有"mission-critical modifier"来define。

1.限定性定从不是只能用that引导，that只能指代物；而之待人的时候who也可以引导限定性定从。2，逗号的存在 ...

我觉得最奇怪的是原句是限制性定语从句，正确选项改成了非限制性定语从句，这是为什么？

你这个类比虽然没有特别依据，但是简单易懂，我觉得蛮对的呵~！

而且我也发现一般在这种a of/in b that 句型里面，大多数that都修饰a的, 你像是one of xx that后面不就是用单数么，待验证哈

我也觉得这里的found比较混乱，一般说的是v-ed过去分词修饰的是其紧跟的名词，但是好像也有发生跳跃性修饰的例子，就比如这个题目中就属于跳跃性修饰了，所以在判断这种修饰成分的时候还是得理解逻辑含义吧。
包括which的指代问题也是一样，什么时候跳跃指代什么时候不跳跃指代，个人现在感觉只能通过带入到句子中然后根据逻辑含义即which等后面的修饰性内容的意思来判断which指代的是哪个，然后看看这种指代是否犯了语法性错误，如果没有犯的话那么这个指代我们就认为应当是正确的。。。

做语法，最好就是理解意思，如果found in Puerto Rico in 1991年修饰sloth，就变成了在1991年在Rico被发现的树懒，整个句子变成了在。。。发现的树懒的化石xxx，是不是曲解了作家的意思呢？

从逻辑意思上来讲，我也知道的确Found是修饰fossil的，但是语法规则上不是应该就近修饰吗？
这会对我排除答案的时候造成障碍，
