Relative modifiers

by voodoo_child » Wed Apr 13, 2011 6:59 pm
The use of GMAT books is based on the assumption that studying produces hormones in an individual that create unconscious physical responses.

....that studying produces .... is a noun clause.

Let's drill down further

studying produces hormones in an individual that create unconscious physical responses.

How do I know whether "individual" modifies "unconscious physical responses" or hormones modify "unconscious physical responses" ?

Thanks

1) Kindly understand restrictive relatives

Studying - gerund - noun
produces - verb
harmones - direct object
an individual - indirect object (skeptic about this)

that - restrictive relative pronoun
studying creates/harmones create unconsious physical responses.

Can we have complete question??
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
