manhattan 的解释，关于Verd 的名词形式还是Ving， buyin。戳这里：http://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/forums/the-cottontail-rabbit-population-in-orange-county-t3012-15.html


dear all, 想询问关于Manhattan对C的解释： Resulting from 在这里只能是形容词的性质。Anyone can elaborate a little bit?
或者，C改成years, resulted from the removal of，是正确的？？

1、resulting作形容词的意思是，只修饰它左面的名词。其用法类似于based on/caused by。

2、一般“逗号+Ving”作状语修饰左面句子的主语和整个句子。这里如果“逗号+resulting”修饰主语，那rabbit population results from这个说法也不合逻辑吧。

3、改成resulted也不行，过去分词也是作形容词，直接修饰左面的名词。
这题中，整个“population has increased”主句是一个结果，选项中只有as可以修饰整个句子，因此用as a result。
