depending on its mass 是如何 swing 的呢？
谁可能是 depending 的逻辑主语呢？如果是 a star, 那么，
A star depending on a star's mass, a star will compress itself into ... 逻辑上合理么？
这个选项是典型的："squinting modifier"修饰，请参考OG245的解释：
245. Unlike Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system that dominated the music of the postwar period, Bartok founded no school and left behind only a handful of disciples.
(A) Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system that dominated
(B) Schoenberg and his twelve-tone system which dominated
(C) Schoenberg, whose twelve-tone system dominated
(D) the twelve-tone system of Schoenberg that has dominated（C）
(E) Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system, dominating
C, the best answer, is the only choice that makes a logical comparison: Unlike Schoenberg,... Bartok. In A, B, and D, Bartok, a person, is compared either to Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system or to Schoenberg and his twelve-tone system as a unit. Such comparisons are neither logically sound nor semantically parallel. Consequently, A and D illogically suggest that Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system founded a school and left behind many disciples. Choice B suggests that Schoenberg and his twelve-tone system together accomplished these feats. In E, the comparison is illogical and the modification is ambiguous. Schoenberg and his system, as a unit, are not only compared to Bartok, an individual, but also credited with having formed a school. The verb phrase dominating... is called a “squinting modifier (a modifier (as often in *getting dressed often is a nuisance*) so placed in a sentence that it can be interpreted as modifying either what precedes or what follows)” because it looks in both directions: given the structure of the sentence, it could be meant to modify either Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system or Bartok.
LES 太cool 了， 欧的 OG 还是读得不够呀。
谢谢谢谢！！
LES is awesome~~
thanks alot
Thanks, LES.
You are my hero!!
（A）A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
depending on mass为什么不能理解为优先做伴随结构，修饰A star？如果这样的话，A似乎没有问题了！
(D) Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
而D中似乎改变了原来的句子重心（原来的主句变成了宾语从句了）？
顶一下，上面的疑惑我在很多地方都碰到：（
(D) Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
为什么after passing through the red giant stage不会被误解为修饰Mass？
而(C) After passing through a red giant stage, a star’s mass will determine if it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.和(E) The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will determine whether it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.在官方解释里被拒的理由就是after passing through the red giant stage被误解修饰Mass呢？
我选的是B,也和楼上有一样的疑惑

实在很棒，ding起来给后人再多读读
同问，A为什么错？
31 star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
(A) A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.[
分词在句末，可以做伴随动作，逻辑主语=句子主语或做伴随结果，有因果关系，没有看出A为什么错。。]
(B) After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, a star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. [参照OG 245的批判：黄色标出的部分is called a “squinting modifier”，引起修饰对象的歧义，既可修饰前面的stage，也可以修饰后面的a black hole]
(C) After passing through a red giant stage(错误修饰后面的中心词mass), a star’s mass will determine if it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
(D) Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.（D）
(E) The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage（错误修饰mass）, will determine whether it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
解题思路：B，C，E选项的分词部分或介词引导的成分，放在句子中间，产生修饰对象可前可后的歧义；A选项为何不选未解？？ 考点：修辞，分词引导或介词引导成分位于句中的修饰歧义 |
还是不明白，可以麻烦说的再详细一些吗？
OG对此题的解释如下
黄色部分是关于"squinting modifier"修饰的说明，也就是我们常说的“夹心”，相关讨论和总结挺多的。
Choice A is ambiguous because the grammatical function of depending on mass is uncertain: the phrase could modify either the whole preceding statement or only the words after it passes through a red giant stage. In the latter case, choice A states in effect that a star depends on its mass as it passes through this phase, not the fate of the star depends on the star’s mass. Choice B suffers from the same ambiguity. Choices C and E illogically maintain that the star’s mass, not star itself, passes through the red giant stage to assume another form. Choice D is the correct answer for this difficult question.
不明白的是关于红色部分，被绕糊涂了，这两种说法有啥差别？？
还有D选项wheater从句中的its，按语法优先指代主句主语，也就是mass。但是按逻辑理解是指代star。
这也是改变句子重心之后造成的不良后果。
说说我对此题的总体理解：
A.“，depending on mass”作条件状语，表示一件事是在什么条件下完成的。但是问题是它从语法上有两件事可以修饰，就造成了歧异。1、整句：star compress；2、就近的条件状语从句：it（star） pass through a stage
B.“，depending on mass”同样是这个问题。可以理解为修饰前面所说的那件事，使第二个逗号前的内容组成一个完整的条件状语，也可以看作单独修饰后面那一件事，此时主句star compress前面有两个状语，第一个是时间状语：after pass through a stage之后，第二个状语是说：还要depending on mass；
C和E的主句主语是mass，并且从句没有单独定义新的主语，使从句中出现的代词it/itself只能指代mass，错。
D的主句主语是mass，从句主语是star，按语法优先指代主句主语，也就是mass。但是按逻辑理解是指代star。这也是改变句子重心之后造成的不良后果。
矮子当中拔高子，选D。
这个选项是典型的："squinting modifier"修饰，请参考OG245的解释：
245. Unlike Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system that dominated the music of the postwar period, Bartok founded no school and left behind only a handful of disciples.
(A) Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system that dominated
(B) Schoenberg and his twelve-tone system which dominated
(C) Schoenberg, whose twelve-tone system dominated
(D) the twelve-tone system of Schoenberg that has dominated（C）
(E) Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system, dominating
C, the best answer, is the only choice that makes a logical comparison: Unlike Schoenberg,... Bartok. In A, B, and D, Bartok, a person, is compared either to Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system or to Schoenberg and his twelve-tone system as a unit. Such comparisons are neither logically sound nor semantically parallel. Consequently, A and D illogically suggest that Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system founded a school and left behind many disciples. Choice B suggests that Schoenberg and his twelve-tone system together accomplished these feats. In E, the comparison is illogical and the modification is ambiguous. Schoenberg and his system, as a unit, are not only compared to Bartok, an individual, but also credited with having formed a school. The verb phrase dominating... is called a “squinting modifier (a modifier (as often in *getting dressed often is a nuisance*) so placed in a sentence that it can be interpreted as modifying either what precedes or what follows)” because it looks in both directions: given the structure of the sentence, it could be meant to modify either Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system or Bartok.
本题E中"dominating..."向前是作定语，没问题。
但是向后我觉得从语义和语法上都既可以作状语，又可以做定语：
作状语是讲在dominating...的条件/情况/背景下，brotok做了什么事。这样的解释是肯定符合分词在句首作状语的规则的。
作定语是说bartok这个人是一个领导者（dominating），这样是讲得通的。虽然分词放在句首作定语的例子我不多见，但本题OG的解释还是认可的，并且前面的一部分NN们也倾向于这种理解。
所以，从技术上讲，本题看到了分词作定语和状语的模糊地带，要想清楚，还是从句好啊。
还要罗唆最后一句：感谢LES NN！！！真的很棒很棒很棒！！！
多谢教导阿。。
