标题: 请教分词短语的修饰对象

234. The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters; infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye.


(A)            infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye


(B)             however, the wavelength of infrared radia­tion--0.1 millimeters--is top long to be registered by the eye making it invisible


(C)            infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long for the eye to register it


(D)            however, because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters, it is too long for the eye to register and thus invisible


(E)             however, infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible


In B, the misplaced participial phrase making it invisible modifies eye rather than wavelength, thus producing a confusing statement that distorts the meaning.


这里making it invisible修饰的是它前面的名词,而不是主语the wavelength


256. The nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.


(A)  The nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.


(B)   To the historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote two letters, being the only eyewitness accounts of the great eruption of Vesuvius.


(C)  The only eyewitness account is in two letters by the nephew of Pliny the Elder writing to the historian Tacitus an account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.


(D)  Writing the only eyewitness account, Pliny the Elder's nephew accounted for the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.


(E)   In two letters to the historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.


In B, the verb phrase that begins being the only eyewitness accounts modifies the subject of the preceding clause 这里分词修饰的是主语,和上题有矛盾啊?请教NN,

234. 现在分词紧跟在名词后(无逗号分开),基本上是做定语修饰其前面的名词.


256. 现在分词在句尾并有逗号分开,基本上是做状语修饰句子的逻辑主语或谓语或伴随整个句子.
