One automobile manufacturer has announced plans to increase the average fuel efficiency of its sport utility vehicles by 25 percent over the next five years, amounting to roughly five miles per gallon, and representing the first significant change in the fuel efficiency of any class of passenger vehicle in almost two decades.

(A) amounting to roughly five miles per gallon, and representing

(B) amounting to roughly five miles per gallon, and it would represent

(C) an increase that would amount to roughly five miles per gallon and it would represent

(D) an increase that would amount to roughly five miles per gallon and would represent

(E) which is an increase amounting to roughly five miles per gallon, representing

OMA：D

我的问题在A。为什么不能用amounting to和representing直接修饰整个句子呢？还有在A里面，representing和amounting是并列的么？请求高人指点

个人看法，
-ing分词做伴随修饰整个句子的话，得是“持续性的动作的实义动词”，这里的amount和represent是表示一种状态性的动词。
如果光从语法上看的话，amounting ... and representing ... 是并列

谢谢。这个持续性动作这个问题，我还真没注意过！哪位能给证实一下这个观点么？！

个人觉得A错得很彻底……逻辑含义上来说是绝对不通的，如果amounting ... and representing ... 并列的话，那amounting ... and representing ... 整个句子怎么解释呢？做主句的伴随语？不管是目的状语还是结果状语都是说不通的，而且，amounting的主语是25 percent ，而 representing 的主语显然不可能是25percent，而是前面One automobile manufacturer has announced plans to increase 这件事
个人意见……有错误欢迎指正

非常感谢~ 最后问一下，amounting 和representing在这里出现，要是修饰，要门就修饰25percent，要么就修饰announce，即主句主语，是么？因为我是完全自学的，看白勇的书只是说修饰前面整句话。看看在我发的另一个帖子里面一位网友告诉我doing修饰整句时，其实是修饰主句动词。那么要是这么理解，是不是amounting和representing要是修饰证据就是修饰announce这个动词呢？谢谢指教！

不觉得是要修饰动词哦要看整句话的逻辑含义，doing很多时候是作状语的
