"Militants seeking independence for Croatia have struck inside the U.S. in the past. In December 1975 Croatian nationalists were suspected of planting a bomb in a luggage locker at La Guardia Airport, killing 11 people and injuring 75. Less than a year later, Croats hijacked a TWA jet traveling from New York City to Chicago and eventually diverted it to Paris. As part of that operation, the group also planted a bomb at Grand Central Terminal, which killed a police officer who tried to defuse it. In June 1980 Croatian "freedom fighters" detonated a bomb inside the museum at the Statue of Liberty, but no one was injured."

Does which refer to Bomb or Terminal ?

"Most of the Balkan nationalities have a history of marrying politics with violence. It was the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo by a Serbian youth that set off World War I. And according to a French expert on the Balkans, Xavier Raufer, the terrorist techniques that the Palestinians and the Lebanese made notorious in the past two decades -- bombings, kidnappings, hijackings -- were virtually invented by Balkan groups. "These guys make Abu Nidal look like Mother Teresa," he says."

Is THAT used correctly ?

Terminal as per GMAT

which refers to the noun placed before it

Is THAT used correctly ?

But don't you think at terminal modifies the BOMB ?

yes as a essential modifier..its similar to "It was X that lead/Set off Y"

so actually THAT refers to the WHOLE PHRASE ?

what do you think about this:

bla bla bla fishermen of Brazil, who are good people

In this case WHO - eventough it is not next to fishermen - modifies fishermen.

Why can't which do the same thing ?

WHYYYYYYY :lol:

The rule is only for "which" ( Non essential modifier) and not for any other relative pronoun.

Unlike Who-Essential as well as non-essential modifier and applicable only to persons, Which is an non-essential modifier and applicable only to things

@ imcste or logitech or anybody

So are these rules going to be correct

1. X + Preposition + Y + Relative Pronoun (except which)

In a sentence structure like this, the relative pronoun will refer to X.

2. In GMAT which will always refer to the word before it.

Whats Y?

Not any word..."Which refers to the noun immediately preceding it-and not to the action of the entire preceding clause
