Q127
In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees' paychecks, assigned by them to the United Nations.
a)for their employees' paychecks, assigned by them
b) for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned
Answer: (B)
In choice A, the phrase "assigned by them" modifies the adjacent noun, paychecks. Thus, A is wrong!!!
Q 120
The Parthenon was a church from 1204 until 1456, when Athens was taken by General Mohammed the Conqueror, the Turkish sultan, who established a mosque in the building and used the Acropolis as a fortress.
a) who established a mosque in the building and used the Acropolis as
e) establishing a mosque in the building and using the Acropolis as
Answer: (A)
og explaination: In E, "establishing and using" modify Athens, thus producing an absurd statement.
When I compare the two question, I am confused about which noun should adverb (Ving) modify? In Q120 (E) why establishing is not modify "the Turkish sultan" the nearest noun.
Please help.. many thanks
Q127， "assigned by them" 过去分词做定语修饰相邻名词“ paychecks”
Q120， E选项是做状语的独立结构，其逻辑主语应和主句主语一致，因此其主语为Parthenon。A选项则不同，做定语从句修饰 the Turkish Sultan

解釋上是說，E選項的establishing 是修飾Athens，這和你說的Parthenon，會不會有問題衝突呢?
