prep08 207题，关于which修饰问题，求大家指教！~跪谢！

Unlikethe short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which carriedsufficient power in fuel cells and batteries, a permanently orbiting spacestation will have to generate its own electricity.
A.the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which carriedsufficient power in fuel cells and batteries,
B.the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, with sufficient enough power in fuel cellsand batteries for their short flights,
C.the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which enabled them tocarry sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries,
D.the shuttle and earlierspacecraft, which were capable of carrying sufficient power in fuel cells andbatteries for their short flights,
E.the flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, whose shortness allowed themto carry sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries,

prep解释说c中 which有enable约束只带the short filghts没问题。 请问怎么理解呢？为什么不可以理解成就近修饰spacecraft？
在manhattan里解释which这个点的时候说use which only to refer to the noun immediately preceding it ——never to refer to an entire clause.

UP！

其实which是不能指代前面的主句，但是unlike连接的是名词短语A of B结构,对于C选项中A of B，which——which有可能指代A，也有可能指代B（那么就导致了指代会有歧义的可能），而D选项很直接的给出，which就是指代他前面的B，无歧义，择优选择为D。

呵呵，谢谢你~又是你回答我问题，可是我还是不明白。在D里面comma+which根据曼哈顿语法的讲解是指代逗号前面紧跟的名词呀，如果这样D的选项为什么会是were呢？你说的A OF B这个结构其实跟我问的逗号+which的用法不是很有关系呀。。不能直接回答我的问题呀。我问的是comma+which应该是修饰comma前面的那个名词才对，但是自这题里面却不是如manhattan所说。如果根据你的意思来看的话，是不是comma+which这种结构中只要紧跟comma前的名词之前有介词的话就不能确定修饰的是不是紧跟逗号的这个名词了？

你问的问题很好，也是考试中的一个trick，which和that引导的定语从句都会有跳跃修饰的可能，也就是说comma+which不是一定修饰最近的名词，等下下哈。。给你贴个连接

不要太纠结。。。
ace 都是flights 和 spacestation 进行对照，明显不合理。

可能是我刚刚帖子没说清楚，你问的是为什么非限which没有就近指代？对不？。。。。我回你的贴的意思是：which可以就近指代，但是也可以跳跃指代。。。。看那个连接的时候差点晕死。。。对于which的思想也刚刚被转变过来

LowkeyWill

sisi实在是太感谢你了~~~灰常仔细的说明~~~ 辛苦啦~~ 我看你附的那个帖子看的头晕了已经。。。消化一下看看还有什么问题咱再一起讨论哈~~~ 呵呵

LowkeyWill

恩。。。但是我第一次做题的时候没反应过来，直接奔着which的考点去了。。。纠结了一会最后还是选错了。。我觉得还是把which搞懂比较好，考试之前能多懂一个考点就多懂一个嘛~ 对吧~
