Digging in sediments in northern China, evidence has been gathered by scientists suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than they had previously thought.

(A) evidence has been gathered by scientists suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than they had

(B) evidence gathered by scientists suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than had been

(C) scientists have gathered evidence suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than

(D) scientists have gathered evidence that suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than that which was

(E) scientists have gathered evidence which suggests amuch earlier emergence of complex life-forms than that

evidence

答案是C， A中OG给的解释是suggesting既可以修饰scientists又可以修饰evidence引出了歧义。那么按照这种理解，正确答案Csuggesting不是也可以说既修饰scientists又修饰evidence而错了吗？？？？？

以下是Ron大神對相關問題的解答
我把他大略翻成中文作的筆記
Comma, Ving
滿足2個前提下:
a.必定修飾前一句, 修飾主詞
b. 和主要動詞同時發生且次要於主要動詞or 直接且馬上為主要動詞產生的結果
我覺得解釋得很好
可解決大部分的問題

previously thought是从句里的话，和that前的东西没有关系吧，只能说是可以确定they指的是scientists而不 ...

嗯对~我的解释太牵强了

但，以前有人总结说 “ S+V+O ving” 这种句型，ving可以修饰O，也可以修饰S。所以C选项也可以修饰evide ...

hfwang的解释说得很明白了，再啰嗦句吧

V-ing 可以作为noun modifier来修饰名词，根据Touch Rule

A noun and its modifier should touch each other.

C中suggesting离名词evidence最近而不是scientists，所以修饰的是evidence而不是scientist.

GMAC很严谨，即使大家都约定俗成这个规则，可是它毕竟不是唯一正确的绝对公理，世事无绝对，尤其是语言，所以OG很婉转地在A中说creats an inadvisable distance between the words evidence and suggesting,而不是直接说suggesting没和被修饰的词放在一起是错的。但是言下之意，就是有这个rule啊，但是GMAC不能直接承认。

好吧~~注意看未划线部分previously thought
所以说明主语只能是科学家~~
suggesting that 没有歧义---C

previously thought是从句里的话，和that前的东西没有关系吧，只能说是可以确定they指的是scientists而不是evidence吧。

首先，这个题A的致命点不在于suggesting，而是主语错误，主语应该是Scientists
那么句子想表达的是Scienti ...

解题思路非常好~~

OG的解释要从GMAC的角度看。它既要让读者明白为什么某个选项不对，但又不会把GMAT考的rule明明白白地列出来 ...

谢谢你，讲的很透彻~~
