第一空本身處在的位置是which關代開始的插入句。注意，插入句雖然是附屬句，但是裡面that後面因為是敘述完整事件，所以也應該是SVO的構成。因此，that後面的事情完整是『nothing should have been known of pasta in Italy until 1295, when Marco Polo returned from the Far East』。另外一個判斷的方式是主要句子的結構。已知This durable myth肯定是主句的主詞，所以主動詞肯定是can easily be…的那個位置。因此只要在主動詞前面的都是插入句（也就是that子句範圍的另一個判斷方式）。
而這題的邏輯拆解如以下：
1. 第一句：有時會聽到pasta是Marco Polo引入西方的（從閱讀跟邏輯角度來說，接下來可能要推翻這件事。回想一下閱讀課教過的重點提示字sometimes）
2. 第二句：講述如果第一句敘述（pasta是Marco Polo引入西方的）要成立的話，前提是nothing should have been known of pasta in Italy, when Marco Polo returned from the Far East(他回到西方之前，沒人知道pasta是什麼）。而正因為 There are Italian references to pasta that predate that event (1295年馬可波羅回來前，就有義大利的文獻資料提到pasta），所以這個Myth（pasta是Marco Polo引入西方的）被推翻了（easily debunked)
第二個問題，討論包含範圍前我們先釐清一下and的功用。
1.分隔兩個獨立的完整句字，並且這兩個句子之間的邏輯關聯性並不強。Eg. You cook the lunch, and I’ll look after the children.
2.平行。這時候包含範圍就是語意平行的合理性。Eg 1- He hates tasks that is tedious and boring. 像這邊很明顯tedious and boring語意就是形容tasks。因此包含範圍當然要到boring. Eg 2-I thought that you knew what happened and that you kept it secret on purpose。
像這邊就是『我以為的2件事情』在平行。
第一件事：that you knew what happened; 第二件事：that you kept it secret on purpose。
總結來說包含範圍的判斷可以從文法的平行，以及語意的平行著手。
