題目源自 GMAT，正解 (E)，為何選項(A) 不正確？ The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market. (A) million, which is part of a deal that will make (B) million, a part of a deal that makes (C) million, part of a deal making (D) million as a part of a deal to make (E) million as part of a deal that will make B, C, D 的錯誤解說，在 Manhattan GMAT 的 Ron 神已交代 http://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/forums/ the-computer-company-has-announced-that-it-will-purchase-the-t2673.html 短網址： http://tinyurl.com/j6neyee 問題是選項(A) 目前網路上我能找到的所有解釋，都只說選項(A)的 which 修飾了 $950M 因為修飾錯對象(正確應為「併購」這件事而非「$950M」)，所以不正確。但「逗點 + which」這種非限定用法，不也可以嗎？此時的 which 不再修飾「最靠近」的名詞 $950M，而是前面的整個子句那麼這樣看的話，選項(A)錯在哪裡？ -------------------------------------------------------------------- 我找到一些資料是說「, which」引導的子句就把它當插入句(或同位語)看待而舉的例句都像這種： Jeff has a girlfriend, who lives in Taipei. src: http://www.learnerhall.org/2012/10/blog-post1131.html (大學堂英文) 若只是這樣，依 MGMAT 的 Ron 的解釋，確實會造成修飾對象錯誤的問題因為同位語參照的對象正是最靠近的名詞可是我記得以前學過的不是這樣啊... 比如 Collins Cobuild English Grammar 段落8.110 就有這些句子： I never met Brando again, which was a pity. These computers need only tiny amounts of power, which means that they will run on small batteries. Before the exam she was a little tense, which was understandable. 以上的 which 指的都是前面整句話，絕非參照最靠近的名詞旋元佑 p.197 同時列出兩個句子 He has three options, which look equally attractive. He has three options, which is a good thing. 這表示「, which」出現時，which 既可以看做是最接近的名詞也可能代表整個句子，兩者都是可以接受的，視上下文而定。回歸原來的題目，為何不能把選項(A)視為正確的用法？網路上的解釋，似乎都硬要往 which 必然 (must) 修飾最接近的名詞這種方式解讀，而把選項(A)刪除... 是我把哪裡弄錯了嗎？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.166.222.165 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1475541401.A.C9C.html
