关于OG12 107一个不是which指代问题的问题

加州女孩

107. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a
technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which
can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost
any substance without destroying it, is finding uses in
medicine, archaeology, and criminology.

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants,
a technique called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which can quickly analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
without destroying it,

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants,
having the ability to analyze the chemical
elements in almost any substance without
destroying it, a technique called proton-induced
X-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting
air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which can quickly analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
without destroying it,

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting
air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which has the ability to analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for
detecting air pollutants and has the ability to
analyze the chemical elements in almost any
substance quickly and without destroying the
substance, called proton-induced X-ray emission,

选A。
B Placement of two long modifiers at the
beginning of the sentence is awkward and
makes it difficult to locate the subject;
second modifier (having…) actually modifies
the first modifier.这句话不能理解，怎么这个having就向前修饰前面的修饰语了？不可以理解为伴随后面主句的动词吗？
还有，这个题的经典问题之A和C中的which的指代问题其实我大概也还没有琢磨清楚，为啥A就可以跳跃指代，C就不可以，，大概猜想是因为C中的which如果要知道technique的话 是不是太远亲不如近邻了
欢迎大虾们评论

107. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants,
a technique called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which can quickly analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
without destroying it,  亲，这里which没有跳跃指代，就和刚才那个问题一样，这里a technique后面called是它的定语，核心词是technique，所以没有跳跃

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants,
having the ability to analyze the chemical
elements in almost any substance without
destroying it, a technique called proton-induced
X-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting
air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which can quickly analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
without destroying it, 这里a technique的修饰成分called被隔开了，which就只能指代emission了，另外过去分词做定语要紧邻它的被修饰对象，不要加逗号隔开，就这样会造成歧义

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting
air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray
emission, which has the ability to analyze the
chemical elements in almost any substance
quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for
detecting air pollutants and has the ability to
analyze the chemical elements in almost any
substance quickly and without destroying the
substance, called proton-induced X-ray emission,

选A。
B Placement of two long modifiers at the

加州女孩

lz问的是什么问题啊难道不是which的指代问题

second modifier (having…) actually modifies
the first modifier.这句话不能理解，怎么这个having就向前修饰前面的修饰语了？不可以理解为伴随后面主句的动词吗？

恩恩恩 他当然可以理解成向后修饰，但是它也可以理解成向前修饰，又能向前又能向后，不就歧义了吗？

which 可以指代emission，但是选A的原因是A在这5个中最完美，也就是相对正确，这是原则。别的不是句子不完整就是重心改变。
另外，但which引导非限制性定语从句的时候不指代就近的名词只有一种情况，就是这个就近的名词是包含在一个介词短语中的，而这个短语是修饰which所修饰的名词。

谢谢，解释的很好，我也受益了！
