求助一道语法题~

之前总结了prep08笔记关于现在分词和过去分词的修饰情况：
1.当过去分词在句末时，不管有无逗号，一般都是就近修饰名词；但偶尔也做状语修饰整个句子，如He hurried to the hall, followed by two guards. 修饰情况由逻辑决定；
2.现在分词在句末时，无逗号时作就近修饰的名词的定语；
3.当现在分词在句尾且前有逗号时，修饰邻近句子的主语，做主语的伴随状语或做句子的伴随结果。因此不能用句尾现在分词修饰前面句尾的名词；(在GMAT里，having been done的用法错误，应直接用done)
4.当现在/过去分词在句中且前没有逗号,修饰前面紧邻名词；
5.当现在/过去分词在句中且前后都有逗号，有歧义：1)修饰前面紧邻的名词，2)向后修饰后面句子的主语
里面说现在分词前有逗号时只能修饰前面句子的主语，但是做og18的时候发现有一道题就是错在逗号后的现在分析修饰有歧义，所以很困惑
把题目贴上来：
(Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are) now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language.
(A) Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are
(D) Neuroscientists have amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood,
请大家帮忙看看到底是我理解有问题，还是笔记存在疏漏，谢谢了

把官方解释贴上来了~其实这个题我在时态上没把握好，但对D对修饰的解释还存在一点疑惑
A Correct. The explanatory phrase between the subject and predicate is set off by commas, and the main clause contains
both a subject ( Neuroscientists ) and a corresponding verb ( are now drawing ).

D The final descriptor in present tense, now drawing conclusions … does not fit the opening clause, which is in present‐perfect tense ( have amassed a wealth … ) and seems to modify adulthood.

我记得昨天看RON解释过类似的题，你说的第五点，好像并不存在歧义， S, ed+.., V+O,还是挺常见的用法。（中间修饰确实可能会修饰主语或者谓语），对于修饰我觉得不在于说什么位置引起歧义，就像这个题， having amassed只能修饰主语的Neruoscientists.修饰谓语就illogical 只是说如果出现另一选项 having amssed, Nerouscientist, now drawing ，那么这个选项更优选.. 对于修饰部分是否有歧义，都是选项比较出来，看哪个更合适。

可能是我思维太僵化了

记住了语法规则做题的时候一看到相悖点就排除排除...
那这个题now drawing是既可以修饰Neuroscientists又可以修饰adulthood吗？还是说只修饰主语？其实我觉得D选项其他地方是没有错的，这种修饰问题貌似出的挺多

第5点我觉得你说的对~具体情况具体分析

D我记得是讨论挺多的，做结果状语我觉得也是还行的，别太纠结这么小的点，记得当时看这道题搜cd, 大牛们讨论了好几页。

By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.
A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market
ranging
D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book market, which ranges
其实就像这个题，BE， B的which修饰逻辑意思层面来讲只能跳跃修饰market，所以B单独拉出来是没有错误的, 但是E就因为离名词更近所以更好. 修饰我感觉一定是对比出最好的就行

ron之前说过comma+ing的是修饰之前整个clause,放在这里显然是逻辑上会有问题的 drawing conclusion显然无法修饰scientist have amessed...因为drawing conclusion明显是在amess这个动作之后，不可能去修饰前一个动作

这样一看确实，逗号+which一般要紧跟被修饰对象，这种修饰题还是多比较的好~谢谢你！

修饰整个句子吗~也可以说是伴随动作或伴随结果吗？
