GWD-8-Q17:
Fossils of a whale that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have been recovered by paleontologists.
A.that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have
B.that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then was subsequently butchered by hominids has
C.that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago, which was subsequently butchered by hominids, has
D.having been beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and subsequently butchered by hominids, have                    
E.having beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then subsequently were butchered by hominids have
正确答案是A,我选了D。
A中的that是用来指代whale,从后面的was subsequently butchered可以看出来。想问的就是whale不是介词of的宾语么?为什么that指代的是whale而不是fossils?
看GWD-13-11:a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is这里that指代的是group。

据目前出现的题目而言, that 和 which 既可以修饰离其最近的名词,也可以向前跳跃修饰;而且没有明显的规则显示说什么情况下该怎么修饰。

个人觉得遇到这样的题,从其他方面入手,譬如has和have的区别; 譬如awkward 的 having;

当初是这样想的,觉得如果用that的话既可以指代fossil也尅指代whale,那么这样就容易引起歧义。用having呢做后置定语是直接修饰whale的,这样就不会出现修饰歧义的问题了。
但是再看看发现如果been beached on是用来修饰whale的话又是说不通的,所以就提出that到底应该如何指代的问题了。
