[讨论]OG11-105关于which指代问题

105. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, is finding uses in medicine, archaeology, and criminology.

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, having the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, a technique called proton induced x-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced x-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced x-ray emission, which has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for detecting air pollutants and has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying the substance, called proton-induced x-ray emission,

Rhetorical construction

The original sentence successfully avoids the problems that may occur in a long sentence with multiple modifiers. The sentence opens with the modifier originally developed for detecting air pollutants. This participial phrase is immediately followed by the word technique that it modifies; technique is in turn followed by the phrase called proton-induced X-ray emission. Finally, the non-restrictive clause which ... destroying it is correctly placed next to emission and set off from the rest of the sentence by a pair of commas.

  A Correct. The modifiers are all correctly placed

B        Placement of two long modifiers at the beginning of the sentence is awkward and makes it difficult to locate the subject, second modifier (having...) actually modifies the first modifier

C        Called proton-induced X-ray emission should be placed next to a technique and should not be set off by commas; relative clause introduced by which incorrectly and illogically modifies emission

D      Called proton-induced X-ray emission should be placed next to a technique and should not be set off by commas; relative clause introduced by which incorrectly and illogically modifies emission; has the ability to is wordy

E       Called proton-induced X-ray emission should be placed next to a technique and should not be set off by commas; has the ability to is wordy

 

对答案没疑问。

但是不理解OG红色部分的解释,OG认为CD的which修饰emission错,

可是正确选项A的which不也是修饰emission么

 

是不是因为A的called proton-induced x-ray emission为修饰成分,所以which不就近指代emission,

而是跳跃修饰technique呢?

 

谢谢指教!

thanks  !!!![em17]

是因为A的called proton-induced x-ray emission紧接着主语,没有逗号,所以which就只能修饰technique,而如果called proton-induced x-ray emission前加有逗号,与主语分开,那which只好修饰就近的emission
