150. Hydrocarbons, with which fruit flies perfume themselves in species-specific blends, are known to be important in courtship, and apparently this assists flies that taste the hydrocarbons on prospective mates to distinguish their own species from that of others.
(A) and apparently this assists flies that taste the hydrocarbons on prospective mates to distinguish their own species from that of
(B) and apparently this assists flies when they taste the hydrocarbons on prospective mates in distinguishing their own species from those of
(C) which apparently assists flies that taste the hydrocarbons on prospective mates in being able to distinguish their own species from
(D) apparently assisting flies to taste the hydrocarbons on prospective mates to distinguish their own species from those of
(E) apparently assisting flies that taste the hydrocarbons on prospective mates in distinguishing their own species from
答案是E，但是我不是很明白E的修饰关系。这个结构是SVO, doing 对于SVO, doing一般考虑的顺序是 1.doing修饰O 2.doing 修饰V 我是从这个角度去解释这个题目，assisting修饰hydrocarbons，这句话翻译过来是：烃这个东西，“被认为”对于交配时重要的，烃帮助果蝇区分他们和其他物种。 对于这样的结构很少考虑到doing修饰S，如果是修饰S我认为应该用 doing, SVO的结构去修饰。所以我陷入了混乱。 在这个情况下，我的朋友们搜到了曼哈顿的Ron的解释 这是Ron对于选项E的解释：“that's an adverbial modifier: "-ing" followed by a comma. it modifies the action or main verb of the most proximate clause: in this case, "are known to be important in courtship". 众所周知，GMAT的一个考点就是修饰，只要是存在的成分，一定会有修饰的对象。如果修饰出现结构混乱或者是意思错误，都会成为排除的考点。但是Ron的解释是对are known to be的解释说明，如果翻译过来就是：烃这个东西被认为是交配时重要的。被认为是交配是重要的事情，帮助了苍蝇区分他们和其他物种。（are known to be是针对人说的，“是被人们认为是交配重要的，而且这个事情帮助了苍蝇区分他们自己和其他的物种”。所以如果这么修饰，他实际的意思我感觉会很混乱）
请大佬们解释一下E，并且告诉我到底是如何进行修饰的吧，感激不尽。
