855sec_3-3, 急问修饰歧意问题

1.        Reared apart from each other, a recent United States study showed striking similarities in identical twins, including many idiosyncrasies of behavior.

(A) Reared apart from each other, a recent United States study showed striking similarities in identical twins, including many idiosyncrasies of behavior.

(B) Reared apart from each other, striking similarities between identical twins that include many idiosyncrasies of behavior were shown in a recent United States study.

(C) A recent United States study showed striking similarities in identical twins reared apart from each other that include many idiosyncrasies of behavior.

(D) According to a recent United States study, identical twins reared apart from each other showed striking similarities, including many idiosyncrasies of behavior.D

(E) According to a recent United States study, identical twins showed striking similarities reared apart from each other, including many idiosyncrasies of behavior.

答案是D。
我的问题是D为什么对?including看起来是修饰similarities, 但也可能看作是twins的状语呀?关键是这个逗号让我觉得这题不对。我记得大全中有类似的题目,逗号后用with坐定语修饰前面的名词,会产生歧义-或者做定语,或者坐状语修饰整个句子。
C也有同样问题,that指代不清, similarities or twins。在这种情况下,如何做答呢?
斑竹解答一下??

See OG11-15

Participle -ing would normally be expected to modify the first clause, describing or extending its meaning,...

希望能有帮助

db5288,看起来你举的例子应该是支持我的说法。Participle -ing would normally be expected to modify the first clause。也就是说分词ing通常是修饰前面的句子(如果前面有逗号),但也有可能修饰前面的先行词,而这正是我觉得D有问题的地方。 所以我在C,D中徘徊。

你说的那个让我再琢磨下,不过C中that引导的从句还是要跟在修饰对象后面吧,个人认为C没什么悬念。稍候,让俺再搜搜

先谢过了。可能我有点钻牛角了。从差中选优来说,D还凑合。对C来说,两个先行词都是复数会有歧义that修饰哪一个。
