[問題]OG(11TH)Diagnostic Test Verbal 43

[FiscJanet]

Despite the increasing number of women graduating from law school an passing bar examinations, the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women have not risen to a comparable extent.
(A)the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women have not risen to a comparable extent
(B)the proportion of women judges and partners at major law firms have not risen comparably
(C)the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women has not risen comparably
(D)yet the proportion of women judges and partners at major law firms has not risen to a comparable extent
(E)yet the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women has not risen comparably

我知道這題(D)(E)錯在yet；(A)(B)錯在have been(主動詞不一致)，
但是為何(C)選項的who放在firm之後會對？
who應該形容的是judges and partners 吧？
請高手幫幫忙阿！TKS!

[frozenrain]

who 是修飾 judges and partners 沒錯
放在 at major law firms 後面並不會產生歧義喔

首先是 who 不能指代 firms，所以依"就近指代的原則"來看沒有問題

其次 at major law firms 是修飾 judges and partners 的片語，所以依語義原則，who 也是指代 judges and partners

關係代名詞的指代裡面，並沒有強制規定只能指代緊鄰的對象，就近指代只是原則；像是", which" 非限定用法才強制指代緊鄰的對象。

討論看看囉!

我是用S+V agreement
proportion是單數,所以後面要接has

[Penny Lee]

C: 依照句意 at major law firms 緊接在judges and partners 後面是最恰當的, at major law firms修飾最近的judges and partners

如果把at major law firms搬到 who are women,變成:

the proportion of judges and partners who are women at major law firms has not risen comparably

at major law firms就變成是修飾women,在句意上就不對了

煩請高人指點一下:
1. yet 可當 adv, 不解為何錯?
2. (D) 沒有關代的問題,直接用women judges, 意思也明確, 到底錯在哪?
3. to a comparable extent 有沒有問題: 為什麼改成 comparably?

Despite已經有（儘管…依然…）的意思，再加上yet就成了贅詞
comparably 比 to a comparable extent來的簡潔
