題目源自 GMAT,正解 (E),為何選項(A) 不正確?
The computer company has announced that it will purchase
the color-printing division of a rival company for $950
million, which is part of a deal that will make
it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.
(A) million, which is part of a deal that will make
(B) million, a part of a deal that makes
(C) million, part of a deal making
(D) million as a part of a deal to make
(E) million as part of a deal that will make
B, C, D 的錯誤解說,在 Manhattan GMAT 的 Ron 神已交代

問題是選項(A)
目前網路上我能找到的所有解釋,都只說選項(A)的 which 修飾了 $950M
因為修飾錯對象(正確應為「併購」這件事而非「$950M」),所以不正確。
但「逗點 + which」這種非限定用法,不也可以嗎?
此時的 which 不再修飾「最靠近」的名詞 $950M,而是前面的整個子句
那麼這樣看的話,選項(A)錯在哪裡?
