og 115 上的解释，不懂啊

115. Gall's hypothesis of there being different mental

functions localized in different parts of the brain is

widely accepted today.

(A) of there being different mental functions

localized in different parts of the brain is widely

accepted today

(B) of different mental functions that are localized in

different parts of the brain is widely accepted

today

(C) that different mental functions are localized in

different parts of the brain is widely accepted

today

(D) which is that there are different mental functions

localized in different parts of the brain is widely

accepted today

(E) which is widely accepted today is that there are

different mental functions localized in different

parts of the brain

Grammatical construction

Gall's hypothesis is contained in the clause that diff erent mental functions are localized in diff erent parts of the brain (noun + marker that + content clause). A series of phrases provides neither the same clarity nor grammatical correctness.

A Of there being is not a precise expression; a clause identifying Gall's hypothesis is needed: that introduces a clause that complements the noun hypothesis.

B Th is construction distorts meaning by separating parts of the description.

C Correct. Th is sentence uses a clause that identifi es Gall's hypothesis clearly and correctly.

D Which is and there are introduce a wordy and awkward construction.

E Which is widely accepted today implies that Gall's other theories are not accepted today, distorting the meaning of the sentence.

以上是题目和解释，可以看不懂b选项的解释。哪里又separating怎么distort? 并且问下of 是不是绝对不可以用在像hypothesis 此类词后。

请大家多多指教啊

个人的感觉哈：
首先，原句意思用that从句表达好：GALL的假设，假设是的内容是“different mental functions are localized in different parts of the brain ”，被广泛接受。

然后，B项，that语法上确实有修饰hypothesis的可行性，因为of 介词短语 可以被跳跃的；然而，are和hypothesis不agreement。

因此我们假设是修饰functions的（事实上这里逻辑已经错误），这样一来，that从句修饰functions，完全没有任何体现hypothesis的内容的从句了。这违背了原句的意思~！

体会一下，我感觉B项的意思变成了：GALL的关于“functions that are localize in bla bla" 的假设，被广泛接受。

1， a of b that， 一般that都是修饰b的，那这里就是应该修饰 function的， 为什么说逻辑已经错误了呢， 如果是修饰Hypothesis，逻辑才是错， 等于hypothesis that are localize in ....


2. b和正确选项的意思好像是不一样，但是还没有彻底想明白，正确选项的意思是,different function are localized in different part 这个假设被接受， B选项是说关于localize in different part of the brain 的mental function 的假说被接受，这样理解对吗

对于1 ： manhattan4 P234 特别提出了nounmodifier的几个跳跃修饰，你看一下第一个呗~例句如下：he had a way of dodging opponents that impressed the scouts.  这里的 that就是跳跃of结构 修饰way 这是可以被接受的。

对于2： 我同意，我觉得就是这样的理解~
PS：个人看法~
