PREP中已经说到A of B that...时,是根据逻辑意思判断that定从修饰A还是B.

那么这里的located in...作为分词定语,prep中解释为修饰brain,而我始终觉得是修饰the bony house即cranium(从各选项中也感觉是在修饰bony house而不是brain),在此想问located in...的修饰对象到底是修饰什么?是不是分词一定是就近修饰?

另外我想问对于the bony house of the brain ,如果located in...是修饰brain的,那如果我想表达是the  bony house located in...,该如何写呢?肯定不会是写"the bony house located in the back of the skull" of the brain吧

我認為是修飾bony house,bony house of the brain其中of the brain是修飾bony house的介詞片語

表示是那個bony house。所以原句應該可視為：

bony house (of the brain) (that is /was )located in.......

heslaw

located in修饰bony house

对于the bony house of the brain ,如果located in...是修饰brain的,那如果我想表达是the  bony house located in...,该如何写呢?肯定不会是写"the bony house located in the back of the skull" of the brain吧

首先, brain要装在bony house 里面

其次，bony house is located in the back of the skull
