这是OG的解释。。。。。。。 Bringing is the present participle of the verb to bring. As used here, it correctly describes an action that happens at the same time as the acti in the main clause; bringing indicates that the number of wild birds became 34 when the ? ve eagles left their nests. A Correct. h e participle bringing correctly links the two ideas in the sentence. B In this construction, the subject of the second verb must be the same as the subject of the ? rst verb, but ? ve eagles cannot grammatically or logically be the subject of brings. C It brings is the wrong tense. D h ere are too many possible referents for it. E Five eagles can be the grammatical subject of brought, but not the logical one; it was not the eagles themselves but rather the entire action of their leaving their nests that brought the number to 34.
