这道题,ing的用法应该是下面的case2 中的1情况： How to use“clause, +ing” comstruction
Case 1. -ing modifies a noun in the clause. Comma+ing follows the Touch Rule as a noun modifier.
1) -ing modifies the subject
Rushing to catch her plane, Bridget left the party. (-ing describe Bridget = rushing)
2) -ing modifiesthe object
I go to a party, dying down. (-ing describe the party = dying down)
Case 2. -ing modifies the preceding whole clause.In this case, -ing applies to the subject of the preceding clause and has nothing to do with the Touch Rule(Touch rule is only available for noun modifier!).
1) -ing indicates a result of the preceding clause and applies to the subject, that is, the subject is aperson/thing whose action is responsible for the result described in the -ing modifier, but the subject is not the direct doer of the -ing action.
Eg: Jam broke the window, angering his father. (Jam didn't anger hisfather directly but his action angered his father)
2) -ing indicates a simultaneous,but lower-priority, action and applies to the subject.
Eg: I write my paper, sitting on my favorite chair
