In 1988, the Council on Economic Priorities began publishing Shopping for a Better World, with the simple thesis of consumers having the power to change companies by the simple expedient of refusing to buy. A.with the simple thesis of consumers having E.whose thesis was simple:consumers have
我在prep語法筆記08裏面看到有說,with形式的獨立主格与主句主语有紧密的逻辑关系,上題thesis與council沒有直接的關係吧,這個算是獨立主格結構嘛?
另外,形如She arrived at the park, with flowers in blossom.這裡she明顯跟獨立主格的從句沒有邏輯關係吧,那麼這樣的結構算什麽呢?這樣的結構跟獨立主格結構又要如何區分呢?

with used here will create unavoidable ambiguity
1.noun modifier(modifies Shopping for the Better World):the thesis of book is.....
2. adverbial modifier(modifies the preceding clause):began publishing with the thesis...(the thesis is not necessarily in the book, but can be construed as a means for the Council to publish this book)
also,of + noun +having cannot clarify the whole point the sentence is trying to convey
based on the above statement,E is absolutely better than A |
