同问啊！！找了好几个帖子了 怎么没人理这个点啊。。。根据曼哈顿和题意 这个主语也应该是a breakwater啊 ...

a breakwater that would rise....and [would] act as....
that 跳过of rocks修饰breakwater
因为这里的of phrase不表示从属。

没有人纠结它主谓一致的问题么。OG里面说a breakwater...acts as...但是答案和句子里用的都是 rise and act ...

没有人纠结它主谓一致的问题么。OG里面说a breakwater...acts as...但是答案和句子里用的都是 rise and act，是因为前面有虚拟动词would所以要加动词原形么？？？？那如果没有would的话这个主意a breakwater of rocks的谓语是不是要用单数？？？？？

你对这个句子的断句有些问题，应该是：

the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that ____________  

换句话说， parallel to shore是状语表示"where"

A proposed building a breakwater of rocks that ____.
Question: where would the breakwater of rocks be built?
Answer: Parallel to shore.

至于v-ing，你版面搜索"v-ing"吧，已经讨论得很详尽了

太感动了~~~baby姐亲自回答我问题~~I am so lucky~

弹词

分词前面是主谓宾结构+逗号，优先考虑是作为状语修饰前面的动作，（在时态合适的情况下）表示的是伴随或者是结果。否则作为定语修饰前面的名词

分词前面是主系表结构+逗号，修饰的是分词结构前面的词，作为定语。

本题答案选C  
absorbing 在这里是修饰谁呢？ 我的理解是：

SVO,V-ing 结构中  V-ing 有两种用法  1. 修饰主句的主句，与主句谓语动词同时发生，表伴随。
                                                              2. 修饰前面整句话，表结果。
另外， V-ing 结构不能修饰主句的宾语。

所以这个句子中主语是 army corps of engineers, 不可能发出 absorbing的动作。  所以 absorbing 表示 结果，修饰前面整句话。

求证！！！我理解的对不对？？？
