QG794题the use of lie detectors```

绿杨小庙

794. The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses.
(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses
(B) that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses
(D ) to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious
(E) who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
这道题正确选项是A，答案说划横线的部分that指代reactions，是reactions create unconscious physiological responses。
我的问题是，that 可以用于指代复数名词吗，因为在我的印象中that只能指代单数名词。如果可以，能不能说明什么时候that可以指代复数名词，最好能够用例子说明。
谢谢大家了！

代词错傻了，原来这是定语从句呀，懂了懂了！！

我有个疑问，怎么判断that在这里指代的是emotional reactions, 还是individual? 看千行上面解释说b错误因为that指代了人；但是a选项难道不也是一样的位置吗？
谢谢大神回复！

Ron说过that，which可以跳跃修饰。
It can jump over a prep. phrase that actually modifies the intended Noun. 这个题里面create的逻辑主语是reactions，只有A选项that定语从句是正确修饰了reactions而不是individual。

解释得非常好，我补充一点：

跳跃修饰可以跳过介词短语，但这个介词短语需要修饰【跳跃修饰中修饰语所修饰的对象】

谓语单复决定了that指代谁
