the gmat tends to write sentences in which "which" stands for the ELIGIBLE noun that's closest to the comma.
by "eligible", i mean that the noun has to AGREE IN TERMS OF SINGULAR/PLURAL with the FOLLOWING VERB.

here's an example:

the box of nails, which is on the counter, is to be used on this project.

in this case, "which" CANNOT refer to "nails", since the verb "is" is singular. therefore, the nearest eligible noun is "box (of nails)". so, "which" unambiguously stands for that.

in our observation, the gmat has been VERY good about this.
whenever i've seen a "which" that refers to "X + preposition + Y" rather than just Y, it has ALWAYS been the case that X was singular and Y was plural (or X was plural and Y was singular), and the verb had a form that matched X and didn't match Y.

这里的that was不可以省略的，否则会导致后面的and产生歧义

加州女孩 · 发表于 2010-5-14 13:11:19

啊？不是吧,后面的and怎样产生歧义啊？不是接的是两个人的名字什么的吗？怎么会跟分词产生歧义？

切尔西 · 发表于 2010-5-14 13:39:03

如果省略了that会导致and后面的人的名字直接既可以理解成和a body of work并列，又可以理解成那俩个人的名字并列的

省与不省皆可，因为body和work皆为单数，不存在逻辑主语的歧义问题，无需用that be中be的单复数确定修饰对象。

判断此题依据主要为平行并列

GMAC的标准答案不是完美答案，多点少点只要无伤大雅即可

为什么没有人问OG对A和B的错误的解释：the use of a relative clause.....说定语从句和同位语成分会造成wordiness和grammatical complexity,怎么想都不明白这一点啊！！！！
