the gmat tends to write sentences in which "which" stands for the ELIGIBLE noun that's closest to the comma. by "eligible", i mean that the noun has to AGREE IN TERMS OF SINGULAR/PLURAL with the FOLLOWING VERB. here's an example: the box of nails, which is on the counter, is to be used on this project. in this case, "which" CANNOT refer to "nails", since the verb "is" is singular. therefore, the nearest eligible noun is "box (of nails)". so, "which" unambiguously stands for that. in our observation, the gmat has been VERY good about this. whenever i've seen a "which" that refers to "X of Y" rather than just Y, it has ALWAYS been the case that X was singular and Y was plural (or X was plural and Y was singular), and the verb had a form that matched X and didn't match Y. |
