这里可能涉及“在限制性关系分句中作主语的关系代词的选用问题”。章振邦老师在《新编英语语法教程》34.3 1) a)这样说：在限制性关系分句中作主语的关系代词的选择，按照一般规则是用who/that指人，用which/that指物。但在实际使用中，大多数是用who指人，较少用that; 大多数是用that指物，较少用which; 尤其在口语中是如此。我觉得章振邦老师的说法具有一定的指导性。千千老师提供的Longman English Grammar的截图中也提到了"but we generally prefer…"。所以，应该不是个正误问题，可能是一种倾向或偏好。

你的说法：be going to do是动词短语，整体可以作谓语动词，没有问题。be going to，如果按照章振邦老师和张月祥老师的处理意见，可以解释为半助动词(semi-auxiliary)，又叫做半情态(助)动词(semi-modal)，它协助主动词一起构成复杂动词词组(complex verb phrase)充当谓语动词，这里的主动词为不带to的不定式(bare infinitive)，试比较构成方式：be going to+do和will+do。还有两个基本概念：动词词组可能只包括一个主动词或者主动词带有修饰语，称为简单动词词组。动词词组还可以由一个或一个以上助动词加主动词构成，称为复杂动词词组。不建议把be going to拆开分析，如果这样做，可能会徒增烦恼。

是的，网友的句子是一个全部倒装句。这种倒装句是表语(主语补语)前置引起的全部倒装，多因尾焦(end-focus)，尾重(end-weight)，或二者兼而有之，而将主语置于句末，使之成为语义焦点，信息核心。所以，网友的句子把表语(主语补语)equally important前置于句首，句末的the mental aspect便成为了语义焦点，信息核心。对于这种使主语成为信息核心的解释是有的。夸克等人的CGEL18.23有这样的解释:… ln consequence，such fronting naturally carries with it the inversion that puts S in final position, and indeed it is to achieve end focus on the S that the fronting is generally undertaken:CVS: Especially remarkable was her oval face. [1b]CVS: Faint grew the sound of the bell. [2b]AVS: ln a distant grave lies his beloved body. [3b]此外，章振邦老师的《新编高级英语语法》46.4C特定情况下主语补语的前置也有说明(摘录部分内容)：主语补语的前置通常并不引起倒装，但在某种情况下也可能引起倒装，这有时是因为主语较长或结构较复杂。例如：More serious was the question of how the President would present the joint announcement.有时为了上下文衔接紧密而把主语补语移至句首。例如：What Uncle Conroy did was important, but more important was the way he did things.表语(主语补语)前置引起的全部倒装这一语法内容，在Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English 11.2.2.2 Fronted predicatives一节有比较系统的阐述。感兴趣地话，可以阅读。最后补充一下Bas Aarts对end-focus和end-weight的解释：1. end-focus: A term used in CGEL to refer to the placing of the most important information in a sentence or clause (the focus) at the end.2. end-weight: A term used in CGEL to refer to the tendency of longer (i.e. heavier) units of information to come at the end of a sentence or clause. Since new information may need more detailed explanation than given information, end-weight often goes hand-in-hand with end-focus.以上内容，仅供参考。

网友所说的get far (with)和get sb far (with)在词典中是有说明的，仅以韦氏高阶词典get词条为例：always followed by an adverba [no object] : to make progress in some activityHe hasn't gotten far with the essay. [=he hasn't made much progress with the essay]b [+ object] : to cause or help (someone) to make progressAll that effort didn't really get us very far.所以，网友句中的further应该解释为副词far的比较级形式。韦氏词典的“取得进步,进展”和“使…取得进步,进展”应该是一种引申义。牛津高阶(9版)get词条17解释为：[l]+adv./prep. to arrive at or reach a place or point 其例句为: I haven't got very far with the book I'm reading.这里的get far可以字面理解为“到达很远距离”，可引申为“取得进步，进展”。此外，韦氏高阶对get有这样的解释：always followed by an adverb or preposition,[+object]: to cause (someone or something) to move or go，如果根据这个义项，get sb far可以解释为“使…移动很远距离”，引申为“使...取得进步,进展”。至于句中get us any further，倾向于把any further解释为状语，表示抽象意义的距离长度，或一种程度，根据韦氏词典的解释，这种状语应该是必具性的。如果把any further解释为宾语补语，一般来说，宾语与宾语补语会构成逻辑上的主谓或主表关系，如果单独说we are far/further，可能不会成立。至于with词组，可以解释为谓语动词get或谓语动词及其补足成分get us any further的方面状语。个人看法，仅供参考。

正如网友所言，几部主流词典都把peek处理为不及物动词。在The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language中对peep一词这样处理：v. tr. To cause to emerge or become partly visible: He peeped his head through the door.外国论坛也有过讨论，不过，结果不太尽人意，可参考：https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/transitive-peep-vs-peek.3460721/post-17559325

同意奉老师的解答。顺便补充一下Michael Swan的英文解释，供参考：Quite is not used directly before comparatives.She's rather/much/a bit older than me.(BUT NOT She's quite older …)But we use quite better to mean 'completely recovered' (from an illness).所以，可以转换为：Don’t start work again until you’re quite better.(= … until you're completely recovered.)此外，王福祯主编的《英语词语用法详解词典》p.764也有类似的解释(节选要点部分)：一般说来，quite不可修饰形容词的比较级，但却可以说quite better。quite虽然不可修饰形容词的比较级，但却可以修饰形容词的最高级。例如：You are quite the most exciting man l've ever known.You're quite the funniest guy in Minnesota.
