PREP上一道题，顶了很久都没人理

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 temperature 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

我选的是a 答案是b。我想问问resulting在这里修饰的是主句还是从句？这句里看起来好象是从句。这种主从句，分词在句末，是不是分词都是就近修饰从句，不管是什么从句？

B里的as a result of 好象也是就近修饰的 because从句？！

请大家指教哦

ing 形式修饰逗号之前的句子，就像LZ所讲，resulting 就有可能产生指代不清。同时，记得在OG中有专门讲as a result of 的用法，下面是大全中的一题，可以用于区分resulting from 和 as a result of

263.
                In A.D. 391, resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria, later generations lost all but the Iliad and Odyssey among Greek epics, most of the poetry of Pindar and Sappho, and dozens of plays by Aeschylus and Euripides.

(A) resulting from the destruction of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria,

(B) the destroying of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria resulted and

(C) because of the result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,

(D) as a result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world,（D）

(E) Alexandria’s largest library of the ancient world was destroyed, and the result was

D, the best choice, uses the idiomatic as a result
                of and conveys information unambiguously. In A, the phrase that begins resulting from cannot properly modify later generations. The word order of the largest library of the ancient world at Alexandria generates ambiguity: one possible reading is that the ancient world was located at Alexandria. Choice B is incorrect. Although an “-ing” verb such as destroying can sometimes act as a noun, in this case the usage is strained. Again, at Alexandria is ambiguous (as in choice A). Choice B also uses resulted ungrammatically and produces a run-on sentence (In A.D. 391, the destroying... resulted and later generations lost). In C, the phrase because of the result of is unidiomatic as well as redundant. The structure of E illogically suggests that there was more than one largest library of the ancient world and that only Alexandria’s was destroyed. Furthermore, the result was should instead be the result was that.

难道B里用 as a result of 就不会误会成修饰creatures of the seabed were suffering 或者A study 了吗？只有doing才会有这种歧异修饰？

到底怎样修饰才是对的啊？

我覺得A的resulting from在這裡修飾dwindling food supplies應該沒問題，關鍵在於increasing sea surface temperature講得是temperature， B的an increase in sea surface temperature講得是increase。原因是increase不是temperature，所以選B更清楚

此题我开始也做错。我觉得，这题关键在于分词伴随和as result of 这样的理解。按照白勇书上的解释，A是不合适的。分词要伴随主句谓语，逻辑主语成了creatures of the seabed....大家讨论

我来试着下个结论：象这种主从结构，DOING在句尾，用逗号隔开，这个DOING修饰的是最近的一个主谓结构，如本题：A 中RESULTING修饰的是creatures of the seabed were suffering ，B 中如果把as a result of 改为RESULTING也是对的，这个resulting修饰的是food supplies were dwindling

欢迎大家指正哈
