Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, to gather information about its size and curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers that show with startling directness the large-scale geometry of the universe.
(A) Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, to gather information about its size and curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers
(B) Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth for gathering information about its size and also the curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers
(C) Similar to the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, where they gathered information about its size and the curvature of its surface, astronomers have made new observations
(D) Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth gathering information about its size and the curvature of its surface, astronomers have made new observations
(E) Just as with the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, gathering information about its size and curvature of the surface, astronomers have made new observations
这道题d选项不怕gathering修饰不清么？既可以修饰navigator又可以修饰earth，不是么？
亟待大牛解答！
就句子意思来看,gathering这个动作是和sailed同时发生的.记得旧prep笔记中有介绍过ing的这种用法.
不过我也认为D表达得不够清楚,gathering我也看得晕晕的.
我倒是想不明白C的错处.
麻烦哪位大牛解释一下~~~
earth逻辑上无能力gathering information...因此不会产生歧义
c项prep的解释是错在两点，一similar to放句首必错，二where修饰地球不对。基于现在看来没有什么是必错的，我觉得c项错误主要还在二。
基于大家的说法，歧义不歧义不仅要看句法上的修饰，哪怕句法上修饰歧义了，但逻辑上只要其中一种没有可能，那么就不算歧义。。。
基本上还是句意超然于一切之上。真是至高无上，不可冒犯啊。。。。。
