OG12 - 86 falling单词的解释

billxxyy

The results of the company’s cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased 5 percent during the fi rst 3 months of this year after it fell over the last two years.
(A) which increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it fell
(B) which had increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it had fallen
(C) which have increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after falling
(D) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after falling
(E) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after having fallen


请问nn们，og的解释我认可，答案没有问题。问题是这里的falling是代表什么时态？为什么have increased 5 percent可以看出是在falling这个时间点的后面呢？有点迷糊。falling难道不是现在分词吗？我的理解应该现在分词是代表现在或者同时发生的，所以我看不出时间的前后关系。

嗯， 看成动名词的话，确实就没什么问题了，谢谢！

楼上说的是，increase和fall都是修饰profit的，没有歧义。

其实这个题用动词的一致性和Which代表的逻辑含义就可以做了。

我觉的这个falling没有时态的意义，只是跟在介词之后的动名词形式而已
