prep 1-105

Even though it was not illegal for the bank to share its customers' personal and financial information with an outside marketing company in return for a commission on sales, the state's attorney general accused the bank of engaging in deceptive business practices by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep records private.

这是正确答案A.

我觉得by failing 是accused的状语, 因此failing的逻辑主语在这里出现了指代不清.

请教一下各位NN如何判定failing的逻辑主语.

谢谢~~~

同感

我一上来就把A排除了，这不就是明显的歧义嘛........

自己来回答这题好了.

by failing其实是engaging的状语.这可以通过honor its promise to its customer看出来.

只有那些business才有customer,并且对他们做了坏事.所以这个failing的逻辑主语是business.
