I understand "WHICH" should be used only to refer to the noun immediately preceding it - never to refer an entire clause/phrase.
Here is an extract from economist -
Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid continue to work on their proposal to raise the ceiling, WHICH had looked like the most obvious route forward.
In the above sentence, WHICH is referring to the phrase "raise the ceiling", so this sentence is not correct from GMAT sentence correction point of view.
Please confirm my understanding.
