The cottontail rabbit population in Orange County, California, has increased unchecked in recent years as a result of the removal of the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands.
A. years as a result of the removal of
B. years as a result of removing
C. years, resulting from the removing of
D. years, which is result of removing
E. years, which is a result of the removal of
why A NOT C...跪谢大神指点迷津
不是牛~小白一只！C选项resulting from...首先result from是动词短语，在这里面comma+ing是没有什么道理的。
comma+ving形式的用法
1) it should apply most nearly to the subject of the preceding clause2) it should have one of the following RELATIONSHIPS to that clause:
必须有以下其中一个：
* immediate consequence
* simultaneous, but lower-priority, action
如果说是immediate result那就更说不通了，应为是由于result from后面的句子是原因，前面的句子是结果
如果说是同时的lower-priority action那也不对啊~主句的谓语动词是has increased，是个现在完成时态！怎么看都不能表伴随啊！
The cottontail rabbit population in Orange County, California, has increased unchecked in recent years as a result of the removal of the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands.
这里的平行成分是the removal of 和 the clearing of
注意：the clearing 是一个名词，如果去掉the，那么就是动词。并且，remove有自己的名词形式removal，所以就不用the removing。比如，discovery优于discovering.
此外，resulting from 和 as a result of。manhattan上说，resulting from是作为形容词修饰名词，不用逗号。http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/post3894.html#p3894
显然这里的resulting from修饰的不是名词，而是一个句子。
