[求助]SC关于插入语和which

Surri

In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle other stars.
A most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle
B most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling
C most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling
D mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle
E mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling

这道题选C 是因为现在分词circling作后置定语修饰planets，前面most of them…是插入语，不影响定语修饰。
但是楼主对D选项有个疑问：如果C中“现在分词circling作后置定语修饰planets，前面most of them…是插入语，不影响定语修饰。” 那么为什么D中的“mostly at least as large as Jupiter”不能也因为是插入语，不影响修饰，从而which circle 可以修饰前面的80 massive planets呢？还是不管是不是插入语，which都是就近修饰最近的名词？
求各位大神解答！！

没人回答嘛

努力努力再努力x

which跳跃修饰一般是在介词短语和有插入语修饰前面名词的情况下，而且这些结构要比which引导的从句要短，这道题which从句很短更适合就近修饰；再说了如果which修饰了planets那不就是歧义了嘛 毕竟还是能修饰Jupiter的  个人理解经供参考哈

跳躍修飾是在「修飾語跟名詞能被視為是一個大名詞（複合名詞）」的情況下才可以使用的。可參考這篇帖子裡我的解釋：https://forum.chasedream.com/thread-1251311-1-1.html

這裡的「80 massive planets, most of them as large or larger than Jupiter」不是一個複合名詞的形式，所以不適用跳躍修飾的原則。

如果你发现一个名词的前后都是修饰词，没有位置放定语从句的时候，才有可能是跳跃修饰。
