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

答案是C，我选了D，因为考虑到C中THEM知道模糊，可能是ASTRU，也可能planets

D解释是MOSTLY副词修饰错误，mostly查字典有大部分的意思，而且用WHICH CIRCLE修饰JUPITER更好，如果是C的CIRCLING的话，可以理解为主句主语ASTRU是逻辑主语

弄不清楚，请各位帮忙解释解释

感觉GMAT中比较倾向于用介词短语而不是副词，而且GMAT中貌似有个潜规则就是如果原句的语法正确，把正确的部分修改成其他的就是错误的。另外，如果是选择which的话，就近指代J,但是文章的意思是说more than 80 massive planets circling哦！所以这里现在分词作伴随状语要好些！恩...个人理解！

jupiter只是和planet比大小的，circling是planet发出的

另外我是觉得独立主格成分是就近指代的，这点不确定，但是经验来说确实是这样，如果能提供反例的话在研究一下

指代不清只是严重性比较低的错误，不可首先用来排除

mostly是个副词，而这里却需要修饰一个名词，说不通，而且通过从字典里查意思来进行匹配不太可取，查的时候看一下用法，consist mostly of women也可以理解成大部分的意思，但是就是修饰动词consist了
