对于A选项,OG说:The participial phrase does not clearly modify the noun in the preceding phrase. 但是我认为coordinating只能修饰BP吧,分词短语不是不可以修饰介宾短语中的宾语么?如OG 第一题C选项。
此外,关于代词。。OG没有提到关于them的问题,可是我想问:尽管对于代词指代貌似应该是遵循按逻辑意思来寻找的原则,可能就近指代,可能跳跃指代,可能指中心词什么的。但是,代词是不能指代介宾结构中的宾语的吧?这个想法对否?
若对,是不是该题A选项,包括其后有些选项,代词指代也有错误?

"The participial phrase does not clearly modify the noun in the preceding phrase. "的意思就是语法上无法修饰到book illustrations,而只能修饰BP,而且即便修饰BP,主谓之间夹了两个短语也是不好的,另外还有coordinate them也是错的,这个them无所指。我们在读句子的时候
永远都只是做一个场景提示,而不会作为重点词来看,对于只修饰核心成分(如主谓宾)的用逗号隔开的现在分词短语"carefully coordinating them with her narratives"是不会修饰到illustrations的。
代词是可以指代介宾结构中的宾语的,很常见。代词指代本质上是根据读者读得舒不舒服、能否立马理解指代对象来判断的,要是你读过去了,总觉得不知道指谁(前提是有好的语感),那么基本上这个介词有问题。GMAT正确句子里面的介词的指代都很明显,可以参看一下。
