So I have a very unusual doubt regarding noun+noun modifiers.
I have a pdf from egmat. They have mentioned in the pdf that noun+noun modifers can literally modify anything. This is the extracts from that pdf "The noun + noun modifiers can modify the entire preceding clause, the preceding noun entity, or a noun in the middle of the sentence."
Also there are some examples given in the pdf too:
1. James created a magnificent design by using latest graphic design tools, a work acknowledged and appreciated by all investors.
2. James created a magnificent design by using latest graphic design tools, an experiment that many feared to do because of the instability in the output resulting from these tools.
3. James created a magnificent design by using latest graphic design tools, expensive but super helpful devices developed especially for minute detailing and elaboration.
I agree with all this, now comes the confusion. So i was watching magoosh's video and they have contradicted this. Here is the example:
English is best suited for incoporating loan words than is chinese, a task that alphabatical langagues can handle easily.
and as per magoosh, this is incorrect because a task is trying to modify chinese. But if I go as per egmat, than a task is correctly modifying the incorporating of loan words, so it should be correct.
Pls help me understand this conecpt.
Thanks

Take another look.
You've missed that "incoporating loan words than is chinese" is not a phrase. It's the second half of a comparison. So, the modifier that follows it cannot modify "incoporating loan words." It has to modify "chinese" only, since the modfier can't jump "THAN IS chinese" to modify what precedes it.
Thus, there's no contradiction between what one of the resources says and what the other says.
