答案no doubt ,看D。
千行中是这么解释的:
D选项的which只能修饰telephone(Ron):
from what we've seen - if you have "which" following "noun1 + preposition + noun2", then "which" can refer to noun1 only if noun2 is grammatically ineligible. otherwise it automatically refers to noun2.
但是Prep08语法笔记 #210,讲到which跳跃修饰时说:
which在两种情况下可跳跃修饰。
1,A of B,which...修饰A
2,插入语
我的疑问:本题D中 a substitute for the telephone:
1,是插入语吗?若是,为何不可跳跃修饰?
2,若不是插入语,算作同位语,那怎么样才算插入语呢?
