小伙伴们。 OG中关于A选项的解释：
use of the present progressive form of the verb confuses the sequence of time with respect to the past tense of the main verb capitalized.
我不是太理解。 麻烦大牛帮解释

谢谢

We do not know whether "capitalized" modifies narratives or Beatrix Potter.

我认为，gmat原来的意思是想说，这个coordinating这个短语可能有修饰上的歧义，一个是修饰BP,这个时候做伴随状语，另外一个就是遵从touch rule 修饰illustrations,如果遵从Touch rule去修饰illustrations的话显然不对，因为illustrations自己不可能coordinate自己。那么剩下这一种可能就是做BP这个人的伴随状语，也就是说，BP在coordinate的同时，还capitalize on....，这样不符合逻辑语义，原来逻辑是想说，在book illustrations里，BP充分展现了他对大自然的热爱和观察,并且这个illustrations是和跟她的记事结合在一起的。但是A理解有可能理解成一个伴随状况，可能是一个正在发生的事情，所以跟capitalized不符

曼哈顿里面有一句话是这样说的： YOU ALWAYS MUST FIGURE OUT WHICH GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES ARE LOGICALLY ARALLEL BEFORE MAKING THEM STRUCTRACLLY PARALLEL. 在逻辑上要有这种合理性。现在分词做伴随状语有两个考法：** 前一个分句整体上对后面某一个对象的作用   ** 两个同时发生的动作，补出主语的动作。所以这句话如果按照A的理解一定是后一种理解法，也就是说capitalized的同时发生了coordinating，所以会让人confused

根据go的解释，carefully coordinating只能修饰book illustrations，并没有说到可能在修饰bp这个人，而a中自然而然就因为逻辑关系不对而排除掉修饰book illustration的可能，那为什么b没有排除修饰book illustrations，求解
