Q8:TTGWD2-Q1:

Neither First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt nor Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins sought recognition by the press, and both cautiously allowed others of the Roosevelt brain trust to take credit for the genesis of historic programs in public employment, relief, and social security that were in large measure what they had been responsible for.

A. to take credit for the genesis of historic programs in public employment, relief, and social security that were in large measure what they had been responsible for

B. to take credit for the genesis of historic programs in public employment, relief, and social security for which the two women were in large measure responsible

C. taking credit for the genesis of historic programs in public employment, relief, and social security for which the two women were in large measure responsible    

D. taking credit for the genesis of historic programs in public employment, relief, and social security that were in large measure what they were responsible for    

E. taking credit for the genesis of historic programs in public employment, relief, and social security which were largely their responsibility


我是从allow to do——排除CDE
再根据句子的简洁有效选择的B，但是看着B，就是感觉for which到底指代谁，这里可以有逗号吗，该怎么理解呢。。。。。
A的错误是由于过去完成时？还是they的指代有歧义？反正就是看着别扭啦。。。。。。。。。希望NN来个准确的讲述

yes

u r right


choice A has three problems
1)past perfect cannot be justified here
2) look at the split between they and the two women (so here u get a pronoun ambiguity issue）
3）it is grammatically incorrect to end a clause with preposition

which不是就近指代最近的一个么？为什么这里可以跳跃呢？

这应该属于manhattan 5th P238  non-touch rule中的第一种情况，mission-critical，我个人理解是有许多修饰语修饰同一个名词时，在越不重要的放在离修饰语越远的位置，因此就产生了所谓的跳跃修饰~

BTW，谢谢DUKB斑斑精彩的解释~
