GRE写作常用表达札记6-2

201.Re: 急问一个问题，请大牛解答！！ 
The survey appears to suffer from several statistical¹ problems, any of which renders the survey’s 
 results unreliable.                          
我们从这个句子中可以看出，any of which renders the survey’s results unreliable是一个非限定性定语从句，它对不对呢？我们一起来看一下： 
从句的主语应该是 any of which, which 指代的是problems,还原一下，可以看得清楚，其实就是：any of problems renders the survey’s results unreliable.意思就是其中任何一个问题都致使 the survey’s results unreliable. 
所以，我的观点是，这句话在语法功能上是对的。如果把any of 去掉，有两点不妥： 
(1)语法错误，前面指代的是problems,后面动词renders应该是render； 
(2)语气上弱了很多，不能表达问题的严重性，任何一个问题都可以致使the survey’s results unreliable。
