首先感谢楼主整理。
看完发现有很多和Ron's thursday lecture不一致的地方。比如which跳跃指代问题。
which cannot jump over an entire modifier with commas.
例如这里来自"which" modifier那期
In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of
them as large or larger than Jupiter, Which circle other stars.
A: most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle
B: most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling
C: most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling (Correct)
D: mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle
E: mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling
o How does the “Which” modifier work?
1. It must modify a NOUN.
2. This noun should precede the comma. (Sometimes you can have small intervening
constructions)
In A&D, the “which” points to Jupiter. It can’t point all the way back to “massive planets” (It’s too far
away). The “Which” modifier cannot jump over an entire modifier with commas!
…more than 80 massive planets, xxxx xxx xxx xxx, which (can’t jump over this intervening
construction)
This modification is incorrect for 2 reasons: (remember not just analyzing grammars)
1. S-V agreement, “Jupiter” is singular and the verb “circle” is plural.
2. Wrong meaning, “Jupiter” isn’t circling the other stars.
