OG13 SC-87逻辑主语的问题

半夏死磕GT

87. According to scientists who monitored its path, an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking out a communications satellite.

(A) an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking

(B) an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun was what recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, and it brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocked

(C) an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, brightening the Northern Lights and possibly knocking

(D) a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, recently triggered by an expanding cloud of energized particles, brightened the Northern Lights and it possibly knocked

(E) a large storm in the magnetic field surrounding Earth was recently triggered by an expanding cloud of energized particles, brightening the Northern Lights and it possibly knocked

答案是C;其实我不能理解的是，为什么主语是cloud不能是storm，模拟云的脚步/模拟暴风雨的脚步不是都可以吗？

我想谁的路线被模拟了并不是这题的突破口，或者如果不是相关专业也很难突破，感觉还是要看原文的逻辑含义， ...

同意！

the"comma + ing" modifier should only be used when:

哇，这段话找了好久

DE选项丢东西了啊，cloud(ejected from the sun)丢掉了，通过这个就可以排出DE了

最后一条大口鲢

其实这道题 直接看后面的 and 并列就可以很简单地选出答案啊 我开始也doing纠结了很久

之前做过ving修饰的题目，说基本所有的which和ving做修饰的选择中，v-ing 永远是指代最近的词语，然而which可以跳跃几个词指代。

很棒的解答，似乎有些明白了！

关于ｖ－ｉｎｇ主语不是主句主语，即ｃｌｏｕｄ的原因

问了manhattan的instructor,答案是：

basically, "X did Y, making Z happen" means ...
... X didn't directly make Z happen,
but
... Z happened because X did Y.

in any case, it's certainly possible that more than one version of the sentence might work.

e.g.,
I sang a beautiful song, making the audience smile.
I sang a beautiful song that made the audience smile.
these two sentences express very similar, but not identical, ideas. the first emphasizes my personal role in bringing happiness to the audience, while the second downplays my personal influence, instead emphasizing the role of the song itself.

similarly, it's possible that "a cloud triggered a storm that did xxx" would also work here.
