标题: OG 87 关于V-ing的主语问题，求解答！！！
87. According to scientists who monitored its path, an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking out a communications satellite.
(A) an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking
(B) an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun was what recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, and it brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocked
(C) an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, brightening the Northern Lights and possibly knocking
(D) a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, recently triggered by an expanding cloud of energized particles, brightened the Northern Lights and it possibly knocked
(E) a large storm in the magnetic field surrounding Earth was recently triggered by an expanding cloud of energized particles, brightening the Northern Lights and it possibly knocked

关于这题C选项的逗号+v-ing，是不是表示v-ing前面句子的结果呢？那么分词的逻辑主语是不是应该是它前面的句子的主语（applies to the subject within that clause），也就是cloud呢？然而根据Og的解释，主语应该是storm啊，这应该怎么理解呢？
附上OG的解释：
The cloud triggered a large storm, whose consequences were the brightening of the Northern Lights and the possible knocking out of a satellite.

og这里的描述确实是有点模糊，不过本题的含义就是LZ理解的cloud triggered storm，结果是brightening and knocking。。。。。

问了manhattan的instructor,答案是：

basically, "X did Y, making Z happen" means ...
... X didn't directly make Z happen,
but
... Z happened because X did Y.

in any case, it's certainly possible that more than one version of the sentence might work.

e.g.,
I sang a beautiful song, making the audience smile.
I sang a beautiful song that made the audience smile.
these two sentences express very similar, but not identical, ideas. the first emphasizes my personal role in bringing happiness to the audience, while the second downplays my personal influence, instead emphasizing the role of the song itself.

similarly, it's possible that "a cloud triggered a storm that did xxx" would also work here.
