Mideast immigrants' rates of entrepreneurship exceed virtually every other immigrant group in the increasingly diverse United States economy.

AMideast immigrants' rates of entrepreneurship exceed
BMideast immigrants are exhibiting rates of entrepreneurship exceeding
CImmigrants from the Mideast exhibit rates of entrepreneurship exceeding those of
DThe rates of entrepreneurship in immigrants from the Mideast exceed
EThe rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship exceeds those of
正确答案是C
我想问一下这里的C选项exceeding是现在分词没有逗号应该是临近修饰前面的名词，就是entreprenership. 后面的those of 指的是rates，那么entreprenership和rates 无法比较呀。同时这里的those 会不会造成歧义？我是指those 是否会有指代immigrants 的嫌疑？

不会。整句话应该是Immigrants from the Mideast exhibit（that）+ rates of entrepreneurship exceeding those of virtually every other immigrant group in the increasingly diverse United States economy，是从句。exceeding修饰的是rates (of entrepreneurship是modifier). those of指代rates

谢谢回复，那这里exceeding 修饰rate 的话是exceeding的什么用法呀？我一直以为现在分词做定语前面没有逗号就是修饰紧跟着的名词，如果有介宾结构会有歧义。
