【补充！！！！！！！！】刷OG的时候又发现一个问题推翻了以上我的无责任总结！！！！！！！！！ 66. In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, so that it absorbs the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.
(A) act as a buffer, so that it absorbs
(B) act like a buffer so as to absorb
(C) act as a buffer, absorbing
(D) acting as a buffer, absorbing
(E) acting like a buffer, absorb
答案C。The last part of the sentence describes the breakwater and should consist of two grammatically parallel phrases, absorbing … and protecting, in order to show two equal functions.（OG解释）
原来“, V-ing”的修饰对象也可以是从句主语（从句主语+谓语或整个从句）？！那这里是否做从句的伴随结果？ （有些人说absorbing作后置定语修饰之前名词（宾语）a breakwater of rocks，但我觉得他们是漏看了OG解释的最后一句（划线标出）：The last part of the sentence describes the breakwater and should consist of two grammatically parallel phrases, absorbing … and protecting, in order to show two equal functions. 所以说我觉得absorbing不单单是修饰名词，比较同意absorbing做前面从句的伴随结果的说法，逻辑主语是breakwater。）
PS. after doing的情况貌似有些不同于“, V-ing”，因为after doing前面可以没有逗号。如果after doing包含在非限定性从句中，那应该解释为它修饰从句主语which(profits)呢还是解释为它和which并列修饰主句宾语profits呢？句意上看貌似是第二种。那就说明which和after doing形式上可以并列，意思上表示动作先后，是吗？见下： e.g.: The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which have increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after falling over the last two years.
这句话的话好像用法就类似句首V-ing+逗号+SVO： After suffering $2 billion in losses and 25,000 layoffs, the nation's semiconductor industry, which makes chips that run everything from computers and spy satellites to dishwashers, appears to have made a long-awaited recovery.

如果applying在这里的逻辑正确，那么修饰的是builders没有问题，applying作伴随状语，修饰前面的主语和谓语，原句的意思就变成了“Many house builders offer rent-to-buy programs, applying part of the rent to a purchase later" 很明显这句话的逻辑有问题。 在66题当中，我的理解是”absorbing... and protecting..." 始终是修饰主句的主语和谓语的，这部分作为结果状语修饰主句的主语和谓语，即“the Army Corps of Engineers proposed..." 我的理解是这里有表目的和结果的含义: the army of engineers proposed building a breakwater to absorb the energy of crashing waves and protect the beaches, 这里表达了建造breakwater的目的和结果是absorb the energy 和protect the beaches.
