我觉得E除了以上错的地方也一定程度上改变了句意原本是伴随状语而E变为2个独立并列的定语从句

反正我也是错选到了E上面，后来整理了一下思路，因为OG对E选项的评价是Adding a relative clause and that  ...

GWD里面有道题：
"Medicare, the United States government’s health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, covers the full cost of home health care, but not with other nonhospital services where 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries.
A. but not with other nonhospital services where 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries.
B. but not of other nonhospital services, making beneficiaries pay 20 percent of the costs.
C. but not of other nonhospital services, for which beneficiaries must pay 20 percent of the costs.
D. which is unlike other nonhospital services in that 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries.
E. which is unlike other nonhospital services that make beneficiaries pay 20 percent of the costs.

答案是C
对于B选项Ron给出的解释是：(b) misuses the COMMA + -ING modifier. this modifier must modify the preceding CLAUSE, so this sentence erroneously indicates that medicare covers 20% of the cost even when it "covers the full cost of home health care" (note that this is the immediately preceding clause -- "covers" is the only verb that precedes this modifier).

所以我觉得没有必要揣测GMAC到底是喜欢ing就近修饰还是修饰句子主句的意思，错就错在SLOWER，而且是明显错误，就那么简单。

刚错了这道题，感谢楼上各种大大们的分享！！！！

OG上的另外一道题（OG17编号748，OG12编号55）和这道地震波（OG17编号756，OG16编号86）的题有些类似又存在区别，说不定可以说明问题：
Many house builders offer rent-to-buy programs that enable a family with insufficient savings for a conventional down payment to be able to move into new housing and to apply part of the rent to a purchase later.
(A) programs that enable a family with insufficient savings for a conventional down payment to be able to move into new housing and to apply
(B) programs that enable a family with insufficient savings for a conventional down payment to move into new housing and to apply
(C) programs; that enables a family with insufficient savings for a conventional down payment to move into new housing, to apply
(D) programs, which enables a family with insufficient savings for a conventional down payment to move into new housing, applying
(E) programs, which enable a family with insufficient savings for a conventional down payment to be able to move into new housing, applying

OG上针对D、E选项末尾applying的解释是“applying following a nonrestrictive clause suggests incorrectly that the builders, not the family, are applying the rent”，也就是说，当前面是个【非限制性定从】的时候，applying就不修饰紧邻的which从句，而跑去修饰主句了（Many house builders ...）。

而地震波这道题，traveling前面是个【限制性定从】，OG就说traveling可以修饰紧邻的这个that从句，没有跑去修饰主句（geologists use ...）。

这样一来，似乎说明了GMAC承认V-ing可以修饰紧邻的限制性定从，但是不能修饰紧邻的非限制性定从。

if a comma + -ING modifier follows a complex expression that has more than one subject+verb pair, then you may have to use a certain amount of common sense to distinguish what is modified.
the modifier still must modify the same rules, but could refer to either of the subject/verb combinations.

e.g.
i dropped a bag containing six incubators that enclosed baby chicks, breaking two of them and endangering the chicks' lives.
here, the comma -ing modifier modifies the entire preceding clause. shown in color:
i dropped a bag (containing six incubators that enclosed baby chicks), breaking two of them and endangering the chicks' lives.

顺便，为啥E的that不对？？？？？？虽然知道slower是错的。
