小菜不是很清楚B和D中的后半句是修饰谁的 and， D中的with是独立主格吗？这里的"，who.....," 非限定性修饰，能看成是插入语吗？
key: A

B 分词修饰有两个作用：做伴随状语或者结果状语；显然不是结果状语，不形成因果关系；做伴随状语也说不过去，不是与was主谓语同时发生的动作；就逻辑意思而言，后半句应该是 who had the power to do sth与 who dwelt in这个并列平行，做非限定性修饰；注意都是用的过去时 dwelt & had
D中不完全算个规范的独立主格 with +n+ving/ved+介词短语是规范的独立主格；with型独立主格出现时，常被判为awkward，几乎可以排除（大多数情况下）
who的用法，就是个非限制性从句，为什么要当做插入语来理解呢？插入语常常表达一种解释，一种语气变化之类的，视出现的实际情况判断，但不可以绝对地把任何相对主句只是解释的句子当做插入语看待。
