我试着说说
1。 resulting 网后面找修饰， 不可能是later generation.
2. the destroying of 就不用看了。 ...

Because it is introduced by a participle, the phrase that begins resulting from
illogically modifies later generations. Substituting the idiom as a result of for
resulting from corrects this error. The largest library of the ancient world at
Alexandria is both cumbersome and ambiguous because it suggests that the
ancient world was located at (and only at) Alexandria. This problem is best
corrected by breaking the series of phrases into two distinct parts: the library at
Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world. Here, the second phrase clearly
modifies the first.
A Resulting from illogically modifies later generations. The series of
prepositional phrases is confusing and ambiguous.
B The destroying of is wordy and awkward. And creates a second main
clause, which would need to be appropriately punctuated with a comma
before and.
C Because of the result of is redundant.
D Correct. As a result of begins the phrase clearly and correctly in this
sentence; the library rather than the ancient world is properly located at
Alexandria; the largest of the ancient world correctly modifies library.
E Alexandria’s largest library of the ancient world is an illogical reference.
The result was must be followed by that.
