Q23:

After several years of rapid growth, the healthy care company became one of the largest health care providers in the metropolitan area, while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to doctors and hospitals.

1. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to

2. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to

3. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying

4. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying

5. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying

   Answer:

待讨论，我选B

pay的名词形式为payment，那么就不能用它的动名词形式，我记得og里和熏衣紫草的回帖中也说过的。

所以应该排除CDE，至于A和B我也搞不清楚主干是怎么回事了，有没有人给分析一下呢？

Me too confused....what's differnt between:

1. "while it proved" and "while proved"  (is it OK to omit "it" here?)

2. "but then it proved" and "but it then proved"  (but and while should be exchangable)

3."in payment to" and "in paying to" (any other differences in diction?)

这道题倾向选A

一、当but/and等其它连词和主句构成主从句的关系时，必须有完整的主谓结构，不能省略。状语从句的while + 分词/形容词例外。目前其它人举出来的反例都不是主从句关系，而是表示平行的时候，此时连词前不能有逗号，或者没有其它平行词，如not..., but...或者do a, do b, and do c。除此以外从句必须有完整的主语和谓语。以此排除D、E

二、当pay有名词形式的时候，不用动名词表示名词性的状态。排除C、D、E

三、当falling month做结果的时候，优先使用同位语结构。排除B，此外B的句意不通。
