which在这里引导preceding clause，ets到底认为which能不能引导句子,og这样说：

74. Growing competitive pressures may be encouraging auditors to bend the rules in favor of clients; auditors may, for instance, allow a questionable loan to remain on the books in order to maintain a bank's profits on paper.

(A)  clients; auditors may, for instance, allow

(B)  clients, as an instance, to allow

(C)  clients, like to allow

(D)  clients, such as to be allowing

(E)   clients; which might, as an instance, be the allowing of

The first independent clause of the sentence describes a general situation; in A, the best choice, a second independent clause clearly and grammatically presents an example of this circum­stance. Choice B uses as an instance ungrammatically: as an instance requires o/to form such idiomatic constructions as "She cited x as an instance of y." Also, this construction cannot link infinitives such as to bend and to allow. The infinitive is again incorrect in C and D. C misuses like, a comparative preposition, to introduce an example. D requires by in place of to be. E, aside from being wordy and imprecise, uses the pronoun which to refer vaguely to the whole preceding clause rather than to a specific noun referent.

此解釋與which作關係代名詞時不同，因(E)選項中 which前為分號，此為一新的子句。

而which不可指涉前一子句之動作之情形如下：

78. The root systems of most flowering perennials either become too crowded, which results in loss in vigor, and spread too far outward, producing a bare center.

(A)  which results in loss in vigor, and spread

(B)   resulting in loss in vigor, or spreading

(C)  with the result of loss of vigor, or spreading

(D) resulting in loss of vigor, or spread (A)

(E) with a resulting loss of vigor, and spread

Choice B properly uses a verb phrase (resulting ...) instead of which to modify the action of the first clause
