這次重新複習,一定要搞懂
先列兩個例子:
OG 11版
71.
49. The cameras of the Voyager 2 spacecraft detected six small, previously unseen moons circling
Uranus, which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting the distant planet.
(A) which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
(B)doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known to orbit
(C) which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known in orbit around
(D)doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
(E)which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known that orbit
→ 對於,which的解釋是"可指代前面任一個名詞,指涉模糊"
78.
Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and saw monkeys sleeping on the braches, whose arms and legs hang like socks on a clothesline.
(A) saw monkeys slooping on the branches, whose arms and legs hang
(B) saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs were hanging
(C) saw monkeys sleeping on the brandches, with arms and legs hanging
(D) seen monkeys sleeping on the brandches, with arms and legs hanging
(E) seen monkeys sliiping on the branches, whose arms and legs have hung
→ (E)的解釋: whose 變成指代最接近的名詞branches,不合邏輯。
這兩種解釋我都能夠了解
但擺在一起就覺得為什麼OG用了不同的方式來解釋呢?
例如說:78題不說,會指涉模糊,可能指branches或monkeys。
這樣的解釋讓我有點再想:為什麼78題可以確知which會指到branches,但71
卻不說指到Uranus,所以錯。
還是我會龜毛了點,其實兩個意思都差不多?!

就我的了解來說對於",which"的用法有下面一些了解
1. 不可向前修飾前面整句→這類錯誤常跟同位語的選項一起出現
2. 原則上修飾最接近的名詞,參考which後面接的動詞,考慮其指代的對象。
如果前面有太多可指的名詞,則有歧異的錯誤。
如果想法有哪裡有錯誤,請大家多多提點囉
謝謝!
