(B) investigating the effects that changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
(C) for investigating what theeffects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions wouldcause
(D) that investigated changes inworking conditions' effects on workers' performance
(E) to investigate what the effects changes inworking conditions would have on workers' performance
语法笔记上说investing做定语修饰experiment~
问题一：现在分词investing作定语修饰experiment，说明两者是主动关系，可是experiment能够自己invest吗？不是应该被研究、被调查么？
表示连续的动作，比定语从句优先，就像为什么在法律之类的后面必须用现在分词一样。
问题二：如何区分定语和伴随状语，我觉得investing也可以做伴随状语修饰那个works呀！
是不是因为这里没有逗号，所以investing就一定是定语；有逗号就一定是状语呢？
求牛人解答，谢谢！
定语从句，现在分词修饰就近修饰，而且逻辑也很清楚，再说了orks离得远呢，相比较而言

个人理解，其实这道题的关键还在于后面changes的修饰
