A of B结构

求教
在A of B, V.ing(V.ed)  结构中 Ving/Ved 是修饰A还是B，还是两个都有可能？
在A of B, which/that  结构中 which/that 是修饰A还是B，还是两个都有可能？

E.    The study of the fruit fly, a household nuisance but a time-honoredexperimental subject, has enabled scientists to begin to unravel the secrets ofhow embryos develop.

这道题的E选项，A OF B结构同位语可以是只能就近修饰B还是要看句意，如果意思上没有歧义，那是不是就没错。。。   求指教

说一点我确定的：

定语从句中，就近修饰数一致的名词。如：A of B, which does C. 关系代词which修饰B；但在A(s) of B, which do C.一句中，系代词which则修饰A(s)。

兩個都有可能。要看語意。

A study by the OceanWildlife Campaign urged states to undertake a number of remedies to reverse adecline in the shark population, which includesthe establishment of size limits for shark catches, closing state watersfor shark fishing during pupping season, and requiring commercial fishers tohave federal shark permits.

(B) which includes establishinglimits to the size of sharks that can be caught, closing

(D) including establishing sizelimits for shark catches, closing

這題從後面的including establishing...讀出來是包括一連串措施，所以要指向的是前方的remedies，B主謂不一致。

In April 1997, HillaryRodham Clinton hosted an all-day White House scientific conference on newfindings that indicates a child’s acquiringlanguage, thinking, and emotional skills as an active process that may belargely completed before age three.

(A) that indicates a child’sacquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills as

(D) indicating that a child’sacquisition of language, thinking, and emotional skills is

從後面的indicate...讀出來是「指出..事情」，應該是「研究」指出會比「會議」指出合理，所以要指向前方的new findings。

所以不要去背規則，請學習用語意判斷。
