40. In 1995 Richard Stallman, a well-known critic of the patent system, testified in Patent Office hearings that, to test the system, a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff’s laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics.
(A) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and
(B) laws, which was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and it is
(C) laws, namely, it was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and
(D) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845, it is
(E) laws that was an observation about electric current, first made in 1845, and is
答案是A,同位语句-平行、简洁、句意完整 我没有疑惑
E: a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff’s laws that was an observation about electric current, first made in 1845, and is now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics
但是E的解释我不懂: 'That appears to refer to laws rather than one'
跳跃修饰:A of B that + modifier 修饰对象一般是A不是?! 为什么OG说that指代的是laws不是one?
难道GMAC不知道跳跃修饰?!! 还是说跳跃修饰这个语法点本身就不被GMAC正式承认?

A of B that + modifier 修饰对象是B
THE A of B that + modifier或者THE only A of B that + modifier修饰对象才是A作者: liuyanjia 时间: 2013-5-14 06:37

THE A of B that + modifier或者THE only A of B that + modifi ...

翻了下MANT P234页 有个关于mission-critical modifier的介绍 就是说 跳跃修饰的 给了例句
His way of dodging opponents that impressed the scouts.
MANT里说 that 指代的是整个way of dodging opponents,
如果按你所说 没有冠词在A前时 B后的modifier修饰的是整个A of B, 不是A吧?!
你的关于冠词的回答又颠覆了我三观。。果然学海无涯!
