OG-39,49 现在分词放在句尾的修饰

以下是引用babypace在2004-5-26 11:57:00的发言：
我以为是"animal-hide shields" "as a protection of"，shields 和protection是不是一个class？

Here are my personal opinions:
1. When "as" is used as a prep., it refers to the "closest" noun phrase, which, in this case, is "items of military equipment".
2. a protection seems to be a abstract idea. let's say "a protection" is a protective object. then there is a number disagreement. See OG's explanation:

Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did. Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment rather than to the use of such items. Also, a method of protecting would be more idiomatic than a method to protect in A or a method protecting in B. In B and D, as is incorrect; also, a protection in D has no noun for which it can logically substitute. Choice E is incomplete; used to protect would have been acceptable.

A good example in OG 54B:

Galileo was convinced that natural phenomena, as manifestations of the laws of physics, would appear the same to someone on the deck of a ship moving smoothly and uniformly through the water as to a person standing on land.

49. The cameras of the Voyager II spacecraft detected six small, previously unseen moons circling Uranus, which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting the distant planet

which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known to orbit
which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known in orbit around
doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known that orbit

d中的as orbiting中的as是不是adv，表示“同样的”的意思。

而to do通常表目的，doing通常表示正在延续的动作？ 谢谢！

谢谢D兄，我想以下改进1的再改进：
改进1的再改进：For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames, used to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears, were essential items of military equipment. 是否是正确的？
或者将原答案：For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears.
改为：For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames, protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears, were essential items of military equipment. 是否更准确？

If we revise t

Protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment for members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa.

Looks better for me.

看了39题的观点：“

“改进2：For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method of protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears.

这个改进后的句子是否正确，可否理解为，a method是逗号前面的同位语部分呢？”

改进2：同位语的话，就是说military equipment是a method ，逻辑概念不对等” ”

同38题，Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area.

那么39题的：

For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method of protecting warriors against enemy arrows and spears.

这么改难道不对么？我觉得对啊.

还有：到底a method是逗号前面的同位语部分呢，还是独立主格结构？我看38题的OG提问中有人说是独立主格结构，到底是什么？为什么？

请指教，谢谢。

according to the explanation of OG, it's no doubt that "protecting" is modified to "shield", so I think the explanation of BraveMBA is right.

我也同意BRAVEMBA的观点，只是想知道改后的情况。

继续顶我的问题：）
