99
A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

A  that creatures of the seabed were suffering form dwindling food supplies, possiby resulting from increasing
B  that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in
C  that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing
D  creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting form an increase in
E  creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

答案是B， 但是我觉得A也是对的呀。A读起来也没有什么语法错误。想了半天不知道为什么，希望牛人可以解答下哈~谢谢

试试解答：A项的主要问题是
1）dwindling是现在分词，不适合作名词的修饰词，因为现在分词不仅是表示过程，而且修饰的名词是它的逻辑主语，在这里就是food supplies dwindles，这不符合逻辑，因为food supplies和dwindle是动宾关系；
2）句末被逗号隔开的的现在分词都是表伴随的（待求证），如果是伴随动作或状态，其逻辑主语都是句子的主语creatures，很明显不是creatures导致resulting动作产生的，所以resulting作伴随动作或状态不合理，如果是伴随结果的话，没有逻辑主语，是整个句子导致了现在分词resulting的动作，即 因：creatures of the seabed were suffering....supplies，果：resulting from increasing...，可是一读句子发现，两者关系其实是因：resulting from increasing...，果：creatures of the seabed were suffering....supplies，所以resulting作伴随结果也不合理，结论：resulting用在这里不合理！
所以，A错！

逗号+resulting from一定是错的，作为adverbial modifier，from后面的内容是被修饰的动词原因，所以一定是原因发生在前面，你可以说Falling on the floor, she was wounded.但不能说She was wounded, resulting from falling.

那E有什么问题呢

E中的which不能只带前面 suffering because food supplies were dwindling, 这个句子。 which只能指代最近的名词。 还有result from后面一般加N。而E中的后面加的是个句子。

B中的 possibly as a result 是做同位语吗，我觉得不是同位语的句式呀。如果不是做同位语，两个句子之间没有连词，所以B是不是也没有那么对呀、、

同意。我也觉得comma+resulting本身没有大错

Ron 说过 comma +resulting is wrong  whenever you see this can  eliminate this choice, 因为sth resulting from X， then X happens first。comma + ing never describe sth happens before the main sentence.

因果关系来说的分析是对的

逗号+resulting修饰的是前面一个clause的主语+谓语，不一定有问题

主要问题是处在用法不符合英文习惯，参见上面zhangjun1118引用的ron的那段

同意以上观点

Choice A:

you can have it as an adjective modifier, without a comma - as in the following sentence:
the flooding resulting from the abnormally strong storms had left six inches of standing water in the street.
note that the boldface is an adjective modifier, modifying 'flooding'.

it appears that on the gmat, as well as in standard written english in general, 'resulting from' after a comma is generally considered unacceptable.
