答案是B, 解释如下：
”B Correct．The use of the concise verb forms of influenced and inspired
simplifies and clarifies the sentence．The concise use of including avoids the pronoun. The concise use of
including avoids the pronoun error and unnecessary wordiness.“ 从这个解释来看，‘including。。。’ 也就是现在分词短语可以用来修饰它前面的名次，中间用逗号隔开。这里的including短语的逻辑主语一定不是句子主语，也不表达伴随方式，做伴随结果讲好像更没有道理，根据解释和我的理解，including是修饰musicians。
OG-11-Purple-SC, No. 110，
110．The nephew of Pliny the Elder-wrote the on eyewitness account of the
great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus．
(A) The nephew of Pliny the Eider wrote the only
eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the
historian Tacitus．
(B) To the historian Tacitus，the nephew of pliny the Elder wrote
two Ietters，being the
only eyewitness accounts of the great eruption of Vesuvius.
(C) The only eyewitness account is in two letters
by the nephew of Pliny the Elder writing to the historian Tacitus an account of
the great eruption of Vesuvius．
(D) Writing the only eyewitness account, Pliny the
Elder's nephew accounted for the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to
the historian Tacitus．
(E) In two letters to the historian Tacitus, the nephew
of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of
Vesuvius.
B是不对的，但大家来看对B的解释" B Beginning the sentence with to
the historian Tacitus is clumsy and unclear；the verb phrase being．．．seems illogically to modify the nephew，creating with the use of the unnecessary being the awkward suggestion that the nephew was the eyewitness accounts．", 这里Being的逻辑主语又成了句子主语。按照NO.109，being完全可以理解成修饰
two Ietters. 抛去选项B的介词短语，但就后半个句子，按照no.109的解释，完全可以讲的通。
我发现在OG里，关于现在分词短语放在句末的修饰对象和其逻辑主语的问题，类似这样矛盾的解释有很多。我感觉这种修辞的用法应该是唯一的，不应该有2种用法，否则的话，这种用法本身就有歧义。我感到很困惑。大家讨论讨论，也希望牛牛指点迷津。
