求助状语的就近修饰--白勇语法第8章

白勇语法里有一道题目：

In A.D.391，resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria, later generations lost all but the IIiad and Odyssey among Greek epics, most of the poetry of Pindar and Sappho, and dozens of plays by Aeschylus and Euipides.

A. resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria,

B. the destroying of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria resulted and

C. because of the result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,

D. as a result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,

E. Alexandria's largest library of the ancient world was destroyed, and the result was

书上说，AB选项里，介词at Alexandria可以修饰the largest library, 也可以修饰the ancient world,从而使句子意思产生歧义。

这个我就弄不懂了，明明at Alexandria直接跟在world的后面，怎么可能会修饰the largest library呢，还是因为是a of b的结构，才会有修饰不清楚地呢？

大家有没有同样的疑问阿，请NN解答下吧！

我不是NN，仅阐述一下个人观点：白勇语法对题目的解释有些是比较武断并且片面的，其实就本题而言，根本不用从副词修饰的角度来判断。A：分词短语谓语句首，其逻辑主语应该是主句主语，因此later generations作为resulting的逻辑主语错误；B destroy有名词destruction，就不用destroying表示；C because of the result of 语义重复；E显然比D啰嗦且不符合语法习惯，此外还有转移原文重心之嫌.

至于楼主所提的副词修饰问题，个人不觉得有什么不妥。
