prep07 sc 99题感觉很经典，求教！

A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of
the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea
surface temperatures during the same period.
(A) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from
increasing
(B) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a
result of an increase in
(C) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling
possibly as a result of increasing
(D) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly
resulting from an increase in
(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which
possibly resulted from increasing
正确答案是B，求牛牛指教A为什么错了呢？还有increasing temperature一定错吗，一定只能用an increase in temperature吗？

错在 “逗号+v-ing”的用法
A的也表达不了以下的逻辑因果关系：
increase in temperatures -->food dwindle --> creatures suffered

不是牛牛，但是我是这样排除的，因为A中的用逗号+Ving形式表示resulting from是用来修饰were suffering, 用来更进一步的描述suffering这一动作的结果，但是其实resulting from表示的是原因而不是结果，所以逻辑混乱，因此不能用逗号+Ving 形式

逗号+V-ing为什么不可以是修饰dwindling food supplies呢？

语义上：原句的意思表达海底的生物遭到生物短缺，可能是由于在相同时间海平面温度的升高，后面一句话表示前面一句话的原因，所以food supplies后面这个是一个verb modifier而不是noun modifier,表示原因
结构上：逗号+V-ing在gmat里基本都是表示对主句的更进一步的解释或者表示结果，暗示V-ing的动作和主句同时发生，到现在我还没有看到放在句尾的V-ing表示noun modifer修饰紧邻的名词（要是LZ看到了一定要跟我说），OG和PREP上有很多关于逗号+Ving的用法说明，LZ做题的时候多留个心就是~

surface temperatures during the same period.

如果这么说的话就是句子主语creatures result from increasing sea surface temperatures,不符合逻辑。

resulting更像做状语修饰前面整句话，所以好像是a study results了什么东西一样，明显不合理嘛

应该说“，ving”这种形式肯定是容易产生岐义的，这也是它的妙用。我也认为",ving"只能做状语而不能做定语，至少不应该做相邻名词的定语，因为这样做挺省事，gmat中似乎也行的通，但是其实语法书上并不是这样写的。在这里如果想让它当定语，需要的是一种被动关系，所以应该是resulted from

反调戏

，+ Ving  结构要表示的是结果  ，  前面→后面

A的resulting from 后面是原因 ，字面含义是 后面导致前面，这个和  ，+ Ving 结构 要表达的意义相反    所以A不对

第一次发言，好紧张。
