   The current administration, being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing to increase as a result of deep cuts in the value of the dollar, has formed a group to study ways to sharpen our competitiveness.

(A) being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing


(B) worrying over some foreign trade barriers being removed, also over the failure of our exports


(C) worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports


(D) in that they were worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and also about the failure of our exports


(E) because of its worry concerning the removal of some foreign trade barriers, also concerning the failure of our exports

答案是C.

这里用了worried about这个 形容词结构，若用worriyng about表示主动的伴随可不可以？将B改为worrying over the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports可以吗？

还有，GMAT中，worry about 和worry over有什么区别？GMAT在这两个介词的选择方面有什么倾向？

语法书上说用形容词也可以表示伴随状语,比如：
　　Crusoe went home, full of fear(克鲁索满怀恐惧地回家)。
　　Confident of the victory， the players are fighting hard(运动员们对比赛夺胜满怀信心奋力拼搏)。
那么用现在分词形式和形容词形式表示伴随状语在worrying和worried的使用上有什么不同呢？

谢谢jinyihan~
但我查了下语法书，伴随状语出现的条件是由一个主语发出两个动作或同一个主语处于两种状态，或同一个主语发出一个动作时又伴随有某一种状态。伴随状语的逻辑主语一般情况下必须是全句的主语，伴随状语与谓语动词所表示的动作或状态是同时发生的。
比如：The dog entered the room, following his master(这条狗跟着主人进了屋)。
这么说的话，在这句中也说的通呀。是不是GMAT中倾向使用形容词结构呢？
PS:继续问worry about 和worry over有什么区别？

强烈不推荐在句中使用ing结构，-ing可以做定语修饰主语，也可以做伴随状语修饰动作，产生歧义。
