以下是引用caterpillar在2004-7-11 3:52:00的发言：

不知道这题NN们最后有没有统一意见了？

个人的理解：还是支持A。1、如果说A中的with结构修饰上有歧义，那D中的with结构修饰上也有歧义。2、OG中的例子：Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and D) seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging（答案）like socks on a clothesline.

(跟这题很相象，所以感觉还是应该选A。

我觉得这句独立主格是修饰seen 后面的" monkeys sleeping on the branches"

Those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk.

我觉得这题和og那个例子有点不同. 但是我还是觉得A 好. 但是我人为KAPLIN的解释并不好.

独立主格with结构到底是修饰谁的? 主句里的subject有好几个, 如果是修饰整句好象又有点不通哦. 觉得A 中with...修饰layer 挺好的, 也不知道有没有这样的用法.

有没有关于独立主格是在句中可以怎样修饰的语法知识点(比方说是否可修饰句中一个部分,是否可修饰主语,或者是谓语动词) ?好象此结不解,这题总没有定论.

还盼望大家继续讨论, 对通过此题弄清独立主格的用法.
