                                              In 1791 Robert Carter III, one of the wealthiest plantation owners in Virginia, stunned his family, friends, and neighbors by filing a deed of emancipation, setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.

(A) setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered

(B) setting free more than the 500 slaves legally considered as

(C) and set free more than 500 slaves, who were legally considered as

(D) and set free more than the 500 slaves who were legally considered

(E) and he set free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered as

请问A和D的区别在哪里呢？

og解释：“This sentence requires that the participial phrase setting free... connect to the gerund construction by filing a deed...; it was the filing of a deed that made possible the setting free .... Choices A and B establish this connection,

Choices C and D distort meaning by paralleling stunned and set free, as though these were two separate and independent actions.”

请哪位nn给解释一下，我还是不明白the filing of a deed和setting free有什么关系？

那选相应该是and setting .......了吧，个人觉得是分词做状语表结果，指代前面的stunned his family, friends, and neighbors by filing a deed of emancipation这个整个

个人意见，还请大家赐教

再问:

请问setting...在这里是做emancipation的解释,形容emancipation还是做前面一句话的结果,即伴随结果呢?

拜托啦~~~分词后置修饰一直是我的弱点 谢谢
