OG12 SC 126 又不懂OG再说神马啊~~

126. The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption
that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual
that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses.

(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological
responses
C是错误答案。

OG上说 creating seems to refer back to lying. (正确的是 creating 应该修饰 emotional reactions)
我觉得creating 紧跟在induvidual之后，语法上就是做individual 的后置定语。
那OG是什么意思呢？

creating不是individual的后置定语，因为发出create这个动作的应该是emotional recation。另外OG可能是说存在assumption that lying produces... creating...（creating变成that从句中的主语lying的动作）的歧义

恩恩，我明白你的意思。谢谢~
明确一下，我是说语法上creating可以做individual的后置定语，但逻辑上是错误的。

同求！！！
这是c的解释

C    this is construction is less successful at clarifying the chain of events because creating seems to refer back to lying; if used as a participial, creating would have to be preceded by a comma.

后半句说，如果使用分词，creating前面加逗号，加逗号不就更修饰individual了么？按照og的解释，这个句子的错误不是在creating修饰individual，而是错在可能修饰lying，这跟之前说的 会有修饰就近原则不是不符合么？

还有上面说的，如果是that 从句里面creating的动作，跟前面的produces不平行啊，而且还需要and连接。

这是怎么回事呢？求高人指教！！！！

同问~~！！C的解释，哪怕木有逗号，感觉也是错误的修饰了individual，怎么会和og上说的跑去修饰lying了呢

再顶一下

up~~同问啊~现在分词前面没有逗号不是应该修饰紧挨的那个词的吗~~！！！

皮皮干疯了

帮顶，同问

我把C选项来来回回看了N遍 ，感觉有点读懂了GMAC的意思。
以下CMAC关于C选项的解释：
This construction is less successful at
clarifying the chain of events because
creating seems to refer back to lying ; if used
as a participial, creating would have to be
preceded by a comma.

首先，第一句话分析This construction is less successful at
clarifying the chain of events because
creating seems to refer back to lying ——根据  SVO+,v-ing的结构，v+ing修饰逻辑主语,在这句话里即lying，但是这里与逻辑意思不符。
第二句话分析if used
as a participial, creating would have to be
preceded by a comma——但是，这个past participle还不够合格，因为缺一个。
