GWD-8-Q17:
Fossils of a whale that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have been recovered by paleontologists.
A.that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have
B.that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then was subsequently butchered by hominids has
C.that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago, which was subsequently butchered by hominids, has
D.having been beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and subsequently butchered by hominids, have
E.having beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then subsequently were butchered by hominids have
正确答案是A，我选了D。
A中的that是用来指代whale，从后面的was subsequently butchered可以看出来。想问的就是whale不是介词of的宾语么？为什么that指代的是whale而不是fossils？
看GWD-13-11:a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is这里that指代的是group。作者: DayDreamings 时间: 2010-11-4 21:10
据目前出现的题目而言， that 和 which 既可以修饰离其最近的名词，也可以向前跳跃修饰；而且没有明显的规则显示说什么情况下该怎么修饰。
