1)in which与where一般没有什么太大的区别，只是有些词有习惯用法，比如：the way,phenomenon等后面习惯用in which

2)分词如果用逗号隔开了，可以修饰前面的对象，也可以修饰紧跟的名词，存在歧义，有点类似携隐以前说的“夹心饼干“，会导致修饰对象不清（这也是B的错误）。

一般修改的方法是，把分词放在句首，或重复要修饰的名词；而分词与前面的名词没有逗号，显然是修饰前面的名词的（如bloodcherry举的例子）

3)我觉得没有power of doing 这种说法，只有power of sb. to do.sth.(如前面power of the court),以及power to do的形式

我之所以一开始选了B，是因为昨天晚上看GWD课堂笔记上，管说，两者并列的and前面不能加逗号...只有三者并列：A,B,and C的情况才可以在and之前有逗号...所以虽然觉得B修饰有歧义，还是把A给舍弃了...

请问像这种两个原则有矛盾（并列原则vs.歧义原则）的时候，应该怎么样取舍呢？谢谢！！

p.s.至于D选项，好像也看过一原则说 句子，+with...在句末表伴随的选项大部分情况下都错...with要么句首标伴随，要么独立主格结构...是不是这样的呢？谢谢！~

顶，

A是最好的答案，但是这个逗号为什么用在这里呢？如果是两个定语从句并列的话，可以不用逗号呀，盼解答！

我觉得表示某种行为的时候能用不定式就尽量用不定式，power of doing觉得有点怪

Answer A or B

In Greek theology the supreme being was Esaugetu Emissee (Master of Breath), who dwelt in an upper realm in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take away the breath of life.

A.   in which the sky was the floor, and who had the power to give and to take

B.    where the sky was the floor, having the power to give and to take

C.   whose floor was the sky, and who has the power of giving and of taking

D.   in which the sky was the floor, with the power of giving and taking

E.    whose floor was the sky, having the power to give and take

(Now, take a look OG 237 )

OG 237  It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range.

OG's 解釋:  In A, the phrase the interaction where two stars orbit each other is imprecise and illogical, suggesting that the interaction is a place where the orbiting occurs.

Back to GWD 4-2:   In B, whose will also wrongly suggest that realm a place where the sky is taking place, but sky is bigger than the realm, and it's just a expression like "以天為家" where "limits" the expression, hence "in which" is better

PLUS: "and who " 和前靣平行

so i chose A over B for this question.

to floor 25:

我觉得in which / where 之间的区别是一个等级靠后的考查点，应该先根据别的来判断

如下是我目前为止的优先级：

一等：平行、主谓、时态、指代、虚拟、被动（前4个常出现）
二等：修饰（-ing/which）、独立主格with/without/each) n adj/-ing/ed/prep/n
三等：其他

不同意25楼的说法，og的那个例子是因为interaction 不是地点，所以不能用where。

记得OG中，familiy in which （where 错误），也是同样的道理，但是当前面需要修饰的是地点的时候，in which 和where就很难区别了，哪位NN再看看。

自己做个例子: In my office, I have a drawer where (in which) I keep all the receipts,两个好像都可以哦！

一定没有人像我那么傻选c，唉

c好象也就那个“has”时态错

zhchch

记得我上新东方的时候，石林讲介词+which优于where/when，所以我直接排除BCE，had the power……这个成分修饰EE，用with会有歧义，所以我就选了A

请指教：）
