标题: 求解各位NN！版主们
The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia, were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain James Cook, by whom they were named supposedly because its sheer wet rocks glistened like glass.

(A) by whom they were named supposedly because its

(B) by whom they were named supposedly and their

(C) naming them supposedly since their

(D) who so named them supposedly because their

(E) who so named it since supposedly their

C选项中OG解释说naming不可以修饰COOK，但是如果我把前面的逗号去掉能否修饰cook呢？谢谢了

“可以优先选择定语从句来修饰。”

我也不确定这样对不对，请NN来回答在这种情况下修饰James Cook 是不是定从比现在分词好吧.

因为前面主句中用的是实意动词，而非系动词，有了这个逗号了naming就不会修饰到James Cook头上去，而去掉逗号虽然确实加大了修饰James Cook的概率，但因为逻辑上还是错的（naming表示一个长期状态，表示Cook一直在反复地为之命名），所以读句子的时候还是不会理解为naming在修饰James Cook。所以…这就是不要过于纠结错误用法的原因。
ps: 确实存在现在分词状语和被修饰主句直接未用逗号隔开的情况。
