Dear Mike,
Everyone showers love and attention, which i completely miss back home.
In the above sentence, although meaning is quite clear, i am unable to identify the noun for which -love, attention, or both. which is used for both as per the meaning, but this logic is going out of the box as i read which is relative pronoun, and there should be only one noun or noun phrase that it could modify.
Same issue in this sentence -
If Majaz were alive today, he would have had something sharp to say about the pessimistic tone of the current liberal mood marked by cringing mea culpas and sigh of despair verging almost on throwing in the towel.
Verging modifies both mea culpas and sigh of despair.
Thank you
PS : Both are not GMAT sentence question but i found same structures while solving critical reasoning questions.

Dear neha338,
First of all, that first sentence is not clear at all. That is a very awkward sentence. The second sentence is also odd --- I've never seen "mea culpa" used in the plural like, this, and "verging almost" is redundant. Are you creating sentences as examples? Please do not do this. It's perfectly fine to quote sentences directly from the GMAT CR or RC if you want ask about grammar. Creating your own example sentences can cause as many problems as it is intended to solve.
If I understand what you are asking, the short answer is that any noun-modifier can modify both nouns if the two nouns are in a simple parallel structure, P and Q. This is perfectly acceptable.
Was that you question?
Mike
