曼哈顿求中的语法题，关于平行结构的，希望大神赐教

曼哈顿的平行结构中，讲到下面这个句子是错的，应该在shaken前面加上which构成平行结构
Tobacco companies, shaken by a string of legal setbacks in the United States, but WHICH retain strong growth prospects in the developing world, face an uncertain future。
可是我不明白，我觉得这里不加也可以，就不把他看成平行结构了。这样shaken就修饰的前面整个tobacco company. but which也是指的tobacco company.感觉这个句子挺对的。

个人理解曼哈顿的意思应该是, Tobacco companies, (which was) shaken by a string of legal setbacks in the United States, but WHICH retain strong growth prospects in the developing world, face an uncertain future; 如果不加which was， shaken by a string of legal... 和 which retain strong...不够对称，一个是分词结构修饰一个是非限定性修饰。

好像不对，我又发现一个问题：tobacco company是名词，逗号加ED这种形式只能当副词性修饰，而副词性修饰是不能修饰名词的，所以这部分本身就有语法错误吧？

你说的修饰可以看下这题：By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
A and she earned them at a time when avation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
B earning them at a time that aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew were
C earning these at a time where aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
D earned at a time in which aviation was still so new such that many of the planes she flew were
E earned at a time when aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were

我觉得这个句子结构很清晰啊，除了句子结构之外还要看meaning的， but 意为转折的平行结构，出现了就算不是严格的平行至少也需要大致的平行，并不是由我们决定平不平行的。除了平行之外还要有转折的语义
这里就是虽然遭受了 shaken 但是还是 retain growth prospects ，然后谓语动词是face
如果不加，那么BUT后面的 which和谁平行呢？
Tobacco companies, shaken by a string of legal setbacks in the United States, but WHICH retain strong growth prospects in the developing world, face an uncertain future。

我觉得这个句子是不是有两方面
①语法上：出现了平行标志词but――所以but前后要形成平行结构――也就有了后面which的平行。
②句意上：句子的意思是公司虽然遭受震荡，但是依旧有所增长。两个意思并行，就有了意思上的平行结构。
这样理解，可以嘛

这个句子我是这么改的: Tobacco companies, which have been shaken by a string of legal setbacks in the United States but retain strong growth prospects in the developing world, face an uncertain future. 或者 Tobacco companies, shaken by a string of legal setbacks in the United States but retaining strong growth prospects in the developing world, face an uncertain future.

感觉这里两个which有重复, 而且去掉也完全不影响句意. 我反而觉得S, 从句, but 从句, VO.这样的结构很奇怪.

另外LZ的另一个问题, 用逗号与其他句子成分隔开的分词只能做副词性修饰成分, Manhatton书上确实是这么说的, 但是在第十一章有个句子Only a few feet wide BUT spanning a continent, the railroad changed history. 书上的解释是spanning修饰the railroad. 不同老师对v-ing的理解都不太一样, 我觉得没有必要纠结的太细.
