[求助]新prep2，210

leleshirley

LS的，在GMAT语法中，which是不可以指代前面整句话的～

同意doyoga理解的跳跃修饰

PS:prep216的which就是跳跃修饰到了hearings,所以跳跃修饰在没有歧义且指代明确的前提下是可行的～

210.       (29708-!-item-!-188;#058&004436)       (GWD-12-Q31)



Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

A. Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering

B. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

C. Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering

D. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering

E. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

给说说A哪错了。。。outnumbering分句表主句结果，不行么？我觉得逻辑上也说的通啊。。。

对于A, 从语法上讲，outnumbering在此做状语，具体来说是做结果状语，而结果状语表明主句的行为或状态所导致的结果。
主句是个被动形式，意思是“信被写“，显然，“信的数量更多“不是“信被写“的结果。


另外which引导非限制性定语从句，紧跟被修饰名词是最清楚的表达方法，但在不引起歧义和混淆的时候，可以后置。而此题后置是因为有关系更紧密的介词结构"to Susan Huntington Dickinson"修饰letters, 所以从修饰词顺序和平衡句子重心的角度考虑，which理所当然要放后面（何况如果是修饰人的话，引导词要用who）
Emily Dickinson’s letters ，which were ......  ,  to Susan Huntington Dickinson, ........ 你一看就觉得是awkward.


综上，选E

大家不觉得那个E的which不对吗？
which不是只能修饰它之前的名词吗？
虽然我知道之前是个人，which不能修饰人
但是难道就因为这样所以which可以跳跃修饰？

which 不是只能修饰名词的，在非限定性从句中which可用来修饰整个句子

eg.He broke the expensive vase,which made her mother very angry.

在这里是他打碎了花瓶使她妈妈非常生气，而不是花瓶让他妈妈生气。

小说一下，在口语中，which可以用来修饰整个句子，但是在GMAT语法中，which只能修饰名词。

11楼解释的非常合理且清晰。收益了。

我看着A觉得别扭，可是对E这个which的修饰问题很不解，还是选了A。

这跳跃修饰或者修饰不当要怎么评判啊~~~

merrimack

我也选的A，虽然看了大家的解释我大概理解了，不过考试如果遇见类似的题目我一定还是选错。。。

zhouyeying

看OG12 的44页的49题。。。对于a选项错误，解释是who指的是theater，不是那个人，反正我就觉得和这题很矛盾！！！！

up 一道纠结的题 11楼讲得很清楚

11楼讲的好！受益，强烈顶。。。

stone_lc

我选了A
因为觉得E的话，觉得应该是outnumbered

能够理解A的逻辑问题了，不过E是否存在时态问题？能不能说这道题是A/E都有问题，只是要以逻辑准的优先，毕竟时态不妨碍对句意的理解。
