它一般修饰最近的那套主谓结构(有时候主谓结构也会转化为n.+ v.ing的形式，其中v.ing不是动名词)，以连词为分隔点...具体的情况还是要具体题目。大致就是连词和谓语动词是两座大山，修饰语基本上无法跳过去修饰。

The delinquency rates on mortgages for office buildings, hotels, shopping malls, and other commercial properties held by the nation’s insurance companies in recent months have increased sharply, leading to predictions that foreclosures on these types of loan could double over the next three years.

(A) in recent months have increased sharply, leading to predictions that foreclosures on these types of loan could double over the next three years

(B) have increased sharply in recent months, leading to predictions that foreclosures on these types of loans could double over the next three years

(C) have increased sharply in recent months, leading to predictions that doubling of foreclosures on these types of loans could occur over the next three years

(D) has increased sharply in recent months, and lead to predictions that over the next three years doubling of foreclosures on this type of loan could occur（B）

(E) in recent months has increased sharply, and this leads to predictions that foreclosures on that type of loan in the next three years could double

按照aeo的说法，in recent mouths 这个时间状语放在这个位置，既可以向前修饰held，又可以向后修饰hsa incresed，如果放在has increased后面，就无法越过这座大山去修饰held而造成歧义了

时间状语亦是一种修饰成分，必须符合修饰对象明确、合理、单一，无意义。

通俗地讲：就近修饰－尽可能贴近修饰对象。

The

United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade

The

United States petroleum industry’s cost to meet environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.错在cost to do而应该是cost of doing 这里by the end of the decade有歧义 price by the end of the decade 这里US petroleum industry的cost应该改成the cost to the US petroleum industry

It is estimated that by the end of the decade the cost to the
United States petroleum industry of meeting environmental regulations will be ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.再看一遍确实B更好更清楚 the cost to sb. of doing sth. 查了一下Longman 上面有She had kept her promise to Christine, but at what cost to herself? by the end of the decade不会产生歧义

By the end of the decade, the
United States petroleum industry’s cost of meeting environmental regulations is projected at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.同样the cost to the US petroleum industry of doing

To meet environmental regulations, the cost to the
United States petroleum industry is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum by the end of the decade.改变了句意 to meet变成了目的状语

The
United States petroleum industry’s cost by the end of the decade to meet environmental regulations is estimated at ten percent of the price per barrel of refined petroleum.the cost to the US petroleum of doing

这里的歧义是指又修饰refined。。又修饰主要谓语is？？
然后提到is前面了，就无法跳到后面去修饰别的成分了，而且充分地贴近了谓语动词，修饰没歧义？
