OG13-90 The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it fell over the last two years.
(C) which have increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after falling C正确
(D) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after falling
(E) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after having fallen

这个答案正确是C，可是Manhattan 上说，noun modifier必须要和所修饰的noun touch together，所以这个which modifier 没有和被修饰的profit在一起，应该是不对啊。

所以noun modifier到底是不是要和noun touch吗？
