From studies of the bony house of the brain, which is the cranium, located in the back of the skull,
come what scientists know about dinosaur brains.

(A) From studies of the bony house of the brain, which is the cranium, located in the back of the
skull, come what scientists know about dinosaur brains.
(B) The knowledge that scientists know about dinosaur brains comes from studies of the bony
house of the brain, located in the back of the skull, that is, the cranium.
(C) The knowledge of dinosaur brains that scientists have come from studies of the bony house of
the brain, which is located in the back of the skull and is called the cranium.
(D) What scientists know about dinosaur brains comes from studies of the cranium, the bony house
of the brain located in the back of the skull.
(E) Located in the back of the skull is the cranium, the bony house of the brain, and it is from studies
of this that scientists know what they know about dinosaur brains.

(A) which就近指代brain错误；过去分词定语located in…修饰对象不清楚，可能是cranium，也可能




是brain；名词从句what scientists know about…作主语，谓语应该用单数comes。
(B) The knowledge that scientists know about…表达方式罗嗦；过去分词结构located…修饰对象不
清楚；that is指代不清楚。
(C)    名词从句作主语，谓语应该用单数comes；which就近指代brain，那么and后面的is called the
cranium的主语也是brain，主谓搭配错误。
(D)    正确，名词从句作主语，谓语动词用单数comes，the bony house of…是cranium的同位语，二
者是相同的事物，过去分词located in the back of the skull修饰名词brain。
(E) it和this指代都不清楚；scientists know what they know about表达不清晰。


想问：1。B中的 located  到底修饰 brain 还是 the bony house of the brain？？正确的意义应该是怎样的？？
2 。C中的which 到底修饰 brain 还是 the bony house of the brain？？ 讲解中说就近指代 brain ,怎么觉得也可以修饰 the bony house of the brain??
