29。Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio winds through the middle of the business district, and the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.

(A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio

(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life,in San Antonio the river

(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it

(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio

(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river

说B错是因为which 指代了United States ，请问这里的which为什么不能跳过两个in直接指代river?

另外一道题目参考是OG126，
126. The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption
that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual
that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses.
(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses
(B) that creates unconscious physiological
responses in turn
(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological
responses
(D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that
are unconscious
(E) who creates unconscious physiological
responses in turn
选A，这里的that却跳过了in an individual指代reactions。

很迷惑。。。请教解答。。。非常感谢

N1 OF N2 .THAT 这里的that可以跳跃修饰N1 这个时候就从逻辑关系分析
which一般就近修饰 前面的那个名词，，但是 在GMAT也会常遇到跳跃修饰的。哎。。苦恼。。。（不过大多情况下还是which就近修饰）

我觉得不要硬要揪出什么一定的规律出来，which优先修饰前面的名词，但是在特殊情况下是可以跳跃修饰的，这时需要按照主谓一致原则判断修饰的是谁。见OG12 107题。所以，按照的指点，我认为还是要看句意，正确答案永远是不曲解原意的。嗯嗯。

有道理，多谢。

that 那个后面接的谓语是create, 所以主语应该是复数名词，而individual是单数，所以需要向前跳跃指代reactions

“逗号，+which" 修饰紧靠的“具体名词”。
