到底要用which還是that?
嗨各位～我是Lily。最近很多同學在題目中遇到which vs that的問題。接下來，我們用
GMAT角度來看看which 跟 that各自的特徵。注意在探討用法時應盡量依據該題目語意分
析!
先說結論: which/that 並不是 GMAT 首要考點，在這裡主要是以補充方式，培養同學基
本修飾的語感。但 that/which 通常不會是 GMAT 優先考點喔!
1. 非限定和限定的關係
(1) I avoid dogs, which appear too excited.
(2) I avoid dogs that appear too excited.
第一句的 which，說明 dogs “generally”來說就是 too excited，這是屬於非限定的
用法。
句意為: 我怕狗，狗大多都是 too excited。
第二句的 that，特別指定 “too excited” 的狗，這是屬於限定的用法。
句意為: 我怕 “too excited” 的這群狗。
2. 修飾位置比較
which “優先”修飾最接近的名詞，而 that 則可以跳過補充資訊，修飾前面主要資訊
我們拿兩題 SC 來做驗證:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their
share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent,
a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.
A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10
percent, a market ranging
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in
the country, which ranges
C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market
in the country, a market ranging
D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market
in the country, which ranges
E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book
market, which ranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
這題 A, C 的 their 沒有指代對象，而 “which ranges from obscure textbooks to
mass-market paperbacks”，就句意而言絕對要指代 “book market”，而不是”
country”，所以正確答案 (E)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign –
using Web sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings – that have
convinced the Department of Agriculture to change the proposed federal
regulations for organically grown food.
A. using Web sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings – that have
convinced
B. using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings – that has convinced
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
這題的 “that have/has convinced”，可以跳過中間破折號的補充資訊，直接修飾 “
grassroots campaign”，而指代對象為單數，所以答案選 (B) “that has convinced”
。
