标题: prep08 207题 (T-4-Q30)，with用法是否歧义？求助！
先贴一下题：

Unlike the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which carried sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries, a permanently orbiting space station will have to generate its own electricity.

A. the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which carried sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries,

B. the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, with sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights,

C. the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which enabled them to carry sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries,

D. the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which were capable of carrying sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights,

E. the flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, whose shortness allowed them to carry sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries,

这题OA是D，我的问题是：B的”, with...“是否会造成修饰前半部分/后半部分的歧义？

根据CD语法笔记：“With引导独立主格结构有修饰歧义”

还有我在CD上找到的帖子（https://forum.chasedream.com/thread-756315-1-1.html）（https://forum.chasedream.com/thread-769740-1-1.html）

大家都说是有歧义的。

但我在Manhattan prep论坛上看到

有人问Ron：B的with是否有歧义，Ron回答并没有。

帖子的page 4 of 4

有人提问：I read a comment in other forums which said-

Other than redundancy, B is also wrong because the position of " with sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights" leads to ambiguity.

Because "with xxxx" then could be modifying either the shuttle and earlier spacecraft or a permanently orbiting space station

Is that ambiguity a solid ground to eliminate this choice?

Ron的回答：^^ no, the meaning of that modifier is obvious enough.

求助！！请问有没有大神知道这里with的修饰到底有没有歧义呀？

感谢！！！

关于此题的B选项，GmatLa的老师给出了详细解析：

选项分析：

A选项：由unlike连接的两个名词要保证在逻辑上可比，本选项其连接的两者为flights和space station，逻辑上不可比。

B选项：with sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights是独立主格，其没有说明究竟是谁拥有这些power。若没有说明究竟是谁拥有这些能量的话，那么这个部分显然无法修饰the shuttle and earlier spacecraft，即，在本句逻辑上，必须是the shuttle and earlier spacecraft拥有能量（可以从主句的内容中看出）。

C选项：本选项比较对象错误同(A)。

D选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。which引导了一个定语从句，先行词the shuttle and earlier spacecraft在该定语从句中充当主语。

E选项：本选项比较对象错误同(A)。

感谢回复，
所以您的意思是，B选项with部分从逻辑句意上看，是没有歧义的吗？（修饰前面的the shuttle and earlier spacecraft）

这是我在beatthegmat上找到的一个解释，觉得挺有道理的：
Here's what I would say about the "with" construction in (B) overall
1) grammatically, it is 100% correct
2) logically, it has an unambiguous target noun, but the exact meaning is left unclear
3) rhetorically, it is awful, a complete failure
