有N人总结过，OG认为changes in the ocean and atmosphere 的用法比ocean and atmosphere changes好，但是不太知道能不能用where.

D.用in which. 白勇的书里有讲.

v521

where refers to a place, but EN is a phenomenon.

so where is wrong.

zhanghz

A B C的话，整个句子没有谓语部分。

(E)   is a phenomenon where ocean and atmosphere changes are combining and allow the warm water accumulating

where应该指地点，这里应该不能用吧。并且are combining 和allow不平行，语法上和意思上都说不过去吧。。

andyteng

GMAT 语法中， in which 优先于 where.

FlowerJay

allow是combine的结果，所以要有to
where一般是地点，书面上用in which好，因为表达了是in a phenomenon, not at a phenomenon, not to a phenomenon...

D为什么要用完成时态？

没办法1987

og11给的答案说明中有这样一句话：If the participial phrase were to modify the previous clause, a comma would have to be inserted between combine and allowing.

是不是就是说，如果分词短语想要修饰前面的句子，中间必须要有逗号？？

但是这个不应该啊，http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&replyid=3304064&id=326156&page=1&skin=0&Star=5

这个贴是现在分词的总结，

og98：

As rainfall began to decrease in the Southwest about the middle of the twelfth century, most of the Monument Valley Anasazi abandoned their homes to join other clans whose access to water was less limited.

(A)  whose access to water was less limited

(B)  where there was access to water that was less limited     

(C)  where they had less limited water access

(D)  with less limitations on water access

(E)  having less limitations to water access

解释E：

E     As a countable quantity, limitations should be modified by fewer, not less; having is ambiguous because it is unclear whether it refers to the Anasazi or other clans

这里having前面没有“，”但是他却说有歧义？！！
