解释A选项中说in England位置不好,应该放在life insurance 后面。可是语法不是讲名词的修饰要紧挨着嘛?如果把in England 放在前面,remained 就直接修饰life insurance了。可是如果把in England 放在后面,中间就隔了个介宾结构,这样不是不好吗?    名词到底是不是紧挨着修饰的呢?

先说关于touch rule,修饰性的词语是要紧临修饰,不过一般单个形容词修饰名词放在前面,比如a good girl,而介词短语修饰放在后面比如 a girl in the bus,
这个题目以Introduced by这个opening modifier开头,修饰的是life insurance,所以同样是touch rule,主体句子部分开头主语必须是这个modifier修饰的对象

你的理解是对的!平行的角度看主句主语没有问题。

问题是最后的being

, -ing结构的modified的动作施加者是前句的主语,在这里变成了life insurance。而-ing后面的内容表明这个结构是修饰clients的。所以用,-ing肯定错,改成同位语可以修饰clients。
