shouldn't indicates refer to "training program" as we are supposed to disregard the prep phrase after the noun?
relative pronouns(THAT/WHICH) always refer to closest noun
it is not true that if you have a preposition phrase then it(THAT/WHICH) will modify farther noun..
which/THAT always modifies closest noun....except in few cases.
the rule is:Relative Pronouns Modify closest nouns
UNLESS– The phrase between modified entity and modifier provides additional
information about modified entity
– The phrase cannot be placed anywhere else
– The phrase does not create any ambiguity in meaning
few examples:
I killed the snake,which lived in the burrow behind my house.==>which clearly modifies....SNAKE.
I killed the snake with scales ,which lived in the burrow behind my house.===>here which modifies snake and not the scales...because....above conditions follow here....scales is describing snake....you cannot place anywhere else to make sense correctly.....it doesnot create any ambiguity means.....==>this means scales live behind my house....this doesnt makes sense....
now take other example.:
i killed the snake with eggs ,which lay in burrow behind my house......==>here you can see that there is ambiguity....both EGGS and SNAKE can lay in burrow...hence this version of which is wrong....
HOPE IT HELPS
