A had mused about banning it over fears that it could hand data on B to C, despite protestations by its parent company, D, that it would never do such a thing. 请问这句话中that后面的成分是相对于protestations的解释吗?如果是的话为什么不直接跟在protestations后面进行插入呢?
that it would never do such a thing 为protestations的同位语从句。因为protestations还有定语by its parent company, D, 所以,同位语从句必须置于定语之后,否则会导致读者误解,以为by介词短语是that从句中的成分。
