12.   Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.

(A) Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only

(B) In 1905, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed

(C) In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

(D) Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed

(E) Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves only

答案是C啊，可是C的过去分词armed 就近修饰名词 the back roads of Hungary ，这样就不对了啊，因为armed应该是修饰Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály 的吧。

答案就是C吧！

traveling ... armed ...现在分词和过去分词同时起修饰作用. 但疑惑若加and在armed前有何不同。

两个分词短语可以直接连接，都不用连词吗？感觉上有点奇怪，请NN指教。

最好是and 连接吧。如果是用逗号也会有歧义呢，分词不是要就近修饰 的吗、
