A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

(A) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

(B) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

(C) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

(D) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

答案是B，我选A。想知道A错在哪里，NN请指点！

B的were suffering because food supplies were dwindling似乎没有A的were suffering from dwindling food supplies表达简洁啊

*分词做伴随状语只有两种功能

1， 伴随动作、状态

2， 伴随结果

A选项把resulting from当作伴随原因 所以错

如果非要用resulting ，那么就用resulting in＋结果

*increase(n.) > increasing

你说的第一点我不同意哦。我在NewYork times上面看到这样的话哦：

If chimpanzees were a genetic mix, resulting from repeated interbreeding between gorillas and humans, it would be odd to represent their evolution by one branch leading off the human line of the tree.

NYT这个例子中的resulting from 引导的是一个定语 用来修饰mix这个词，可以看成“...mix, which is result from...."对吗

而LZ给出的题目A选项中，rusluting from显然不是food supplies的定语， 而是前面那句话的状语

分词 做状语的时候，不能表原因；但是分词作为定语的时候可以用resulting from来修饰某个特定事物的由来

不知道我这样解释是否合理

谢谢楼上的例子，让我对分词的用法有了更多的了解
