OG13-48求助！关于Which跳跃指代的问题！

花染水凉

48. It is called a sea, but the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, which covers more than four times the surface area of its closest rival in size, North America's Lake Superior.

A. It is called a sea, but the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, which covers
B. Although it is called a sea, actually the landlocked Caspian is the largest lake on Earth, which covers
C. Though called a sea, the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, covering
D. Though called a sea but it actually is the largest lake on Earth, the landlocked Caspian covers
E. Despite being called a sea, the largest lake on Earth is actually the landlocked Caspian, covering



关于A和B中，对于他们错误的解释都是因为which错误指代了Earth。
但是which不是可以跳跃指代么？这样不就指代了the largest lake么？这样不就对了么。。求大家指教！多谢！

跳跃指代不能跳过动词，所以。。。

楼主曼哈顿语法里面有讲这个

1. use WHICH only to refer to the noun immediately preceding it-never to refer to an entire clause.
2. a noun and its modifier should touch each other

所以which在这里就只能指代earth 不符合句意。但是-ing的修饰部分能正确修饰前面的主语lake

感谢！
但是有些情况下WHICH的确可以跳跃指代前面的名词，尤其是可以跳跃介词短语而去指代前面的noun。
题目我暂时没有翻到，到时候做到了发上来看！

楼主我找到了
og13语法29选项E就是你说的这种跳跃指代的情况吧？
Emily Dickinson's letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumber her letters to anyone else.
我理解在which之前除了letters没有其它可以指代的东西了(其它的都是人)不知道这样理解对不对。。。。

这个id有吗

which可以跳跃修饰吗

which 后面的谓语的单复数形式可以用来判断refer的对象
Emily Dickinson's letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumber her letters to anyone else.
因为是which were  所以只有letters了 没有歧义

我认为这里which可以指代letters是因为to Susan Huntington Dickinson是prep+B做letters的后置定语，在这种情况下，which的指代要由意思决定。

我记得语法上应该是这么解释的。要是错了请给我指出~

这题OG的意思是which 本应该指代的是the landlocked Caspian， 那么 which 就跳跃了be动词 IS 指代了，所以错。我是这么理解的，大家有好的想法请补充，指正

同意你的看法。我觉得这个句子整体上是一个A outnumber B的格式，所以作对比的是letters to SHD与letters to others，介词短语起到修饰作用，故SHD不看做是独立的名词而只是名词修饰语，所以which的指代无歧义。
