三、修饰结构
修饰结构包括修饰从句和修饰词组。GMAT就喜欢把他们的位置颠来倒去，误导你把他们同错误的被修饰对象连在一起。比如：
Running on all four legs with startling speed, Sylvia quickly photographed the fleeing chimpanzee.
这句话中Sylvia紧跟在修饰从句之后，导致误解为：Sylvia could run on all fours with startling speed，但既然如此，她又如何拍照呢？显然不make sense。正确的应该是：
Sylvia quickly photographed the fleeing chimpanzee,running on all four legs with startling speed. 不过，别以为这就是GMAT的正确答案。GMAT还会有更好的答案同时让你选择：
Sylvia quickly photographed the chimpanzee as it fled on all four legs with startling speed。
后一句相比于前一句有两个优点：第一，简化了句子；第二，删除了任何可能导致误解出现的成分。所以是最佳答案。
除了以上类型之外，还可能出现以下几种修饰结构错误：
（1）分词短语前出现介词
比如：Upon returning to the mountain lake, the ice-cold water chilled Sylvia to the bone.
(2) 形容词
比如：Wet and cold, the fire of the camp had never looked so inviting to Sylvia.
(3) 形容词短语
比如：A photojournalist with an excellent international reputation, Sylvia's photographs of wildlife always bring in top-dollar commissions.
综上所述，解答此类题的关键在于——
看被逗号分开的句子到底修饰的是那个名词，如果没有修饰对象或者修饰对象似有似无，大多数情况下是错误的，仔细比对每个答案，看哪个最make sense.
