题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:the number of which引导的是定语从句。定语和状语均须满足就近修饰原则,因此本选项中该定语从句会修饰designated recovery area。在逻辑上,被该地区的猎物的数量决定的应该是狼的数量,而不是“地区”。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:however是副词而不是连词,因此,are scheduled句和will be dictated句之间缺少连词。
D选项:the number of which引导的是定语从句,其修饰对象错误同选项(A)。另外,分号一般用于连接个分句,不能连接一个主句和一个定语从句。
E选项:连词when将state wildlife officials are scheduled to take over the job of increasing the wolf population in the federally designated recovery area和the size of the population will ultimately be dictated by the number of prey in the area塑造成了时间(同时)关系。显然地,这两句话并非同一时间发生,也不能用后者来修饰前者,两句分别讲了两个方面的事情,一个是接管工作,另外一个是狼的数量由猎物数量决定。
A 中的the wolf population in the .....area 是不是 noun+prep+noun 的结构呢?如果是的,那么which 不是也可以修饰到 the wolf population吗? 如果是这样的话,我觉得A可能是错在 the number上了 。the number of wolves/ the size of the wolve population 请大家指正。

同意!
一般GMAT中就近原则很死板,就是指紧跟着which的那个名词,比如time这种,都不可以,所以which肯定是错的~
嗯,这个可以去manhattan上看一下呢。n+prep+n,which 这样的结构中which是可以修饰到前一个n的,og还有prep上都有类似的题目。
嗯,是有可以修饰前面的名词的特例,但是特别少,练习里面遇到的大部分这种情况都不可以,which肯定要跟之前的那个名词,所以也是没办法~

which 修饰最近名词,一般不跳跃修饰
就算像ron神说的那样,which修饰的是名词+介词+名词的这种情况,a中修饰的是population,那the number of the wolf population也不对啊,也只能是是the number of wolf啊,再跳跃也不能跳跃到wolf上修饰吧
我说的就是a 错在 the number of wolf population上了啊…正确的搭配是the number of wolves 或者 the size of population…这是在回复我吗?
