求解一道题:旧版prep SC1 -81题

In the major cities of industrialized countries at the end of the nineteenth century, important public places such as theaters, restaurants, shops, and banks had installed electric lighting, but electricity was in less than one percent of homes, where lighting was still provided mainly by candles or gas.








(A) electricity was in less than one percent of homes, where lighting was still




(B) electricity was in less than one percent of homes and lighting still




(C) there were less than one percent of homes with electricity, where lighting was still being




(D) there was less than one percent of homes that had electricity, having lighting that was still




(E) less than one percent of homes had electricity, where lighting had still been


答案选A,

C的解释中,where语法上就近修饰electricity,导致逻辑错误。

答案的意思是这里的where作关系副词引导从句,那么如何区分是作定从修饰前一个名词,还是做状从修饰整个句子?
通过语义区分? 那么形式或用法上呢?where引导定从和状从有什么不同,又如何区别呢?

我的理解是在gmat考试中,一般是就近指代,不能指代整个句子

谢谢~~不过那个是which引导的非限定性定语从句,就近指代~不指代整个句子。但where引导的状从和定从要如何区分呢。。。

个人理解where在做副词时 是不存在引导状语从句修饰整个句子,因为where来修饰或代替地点的,那么地点本事就是个名词, 那么where只能在定语从句中使用,修饰名词而不是句子,例子:She was shown into a small room, where there was a dying man.

可能是我在一楼表达的不够准确~....where引导状从,修饰主句谓语呢?比如 I got an apple, where ....  这样就是修饰谓语动词了..
应该没有用法上面的区别 只能从语义区分吧..?
