'That' modifer

by SaifulI24 Thu Jan 14, 2021 6:49 pm

Hello,

[Redacted by Moderators]

My question is what does 'that' modify? is it ambiguous?

I know the initial thought is 'that' modifies [redacted] which results in an illogical meaning with the -ing modifier, but can't 'that' also reach over two prepositional phrases to modify the entire noun phrase [redacted]? thus you have an ambiguous sentence.

First, please accept our apologies for the late response. A tech glitch has hidden this folder from all logged-in Manhattan Prep staff since the New Year, so I didn’t see this question until now.
Second, thank you for following our posting policies and not posting the original OG question. However, it was still close enough that I recognized the OG source, and GMAC would too, so unfortunately I had to delete.
