                    Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions. which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.

(A)  colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed

(B) 
                            which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing

(C)  since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed

(D)  being colder and wetter than usually in some
                regions, slowing

(E)   having been colder and wetter than was usual
                in some regions and slowed

Choice B is the best answer. It is concise and idiomatic, and which has a clear referent, the weather. In A, the insertion of was is unnecessary, and the referent of which is not clear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In C, the adjective usual is needed in place of the adverb usually, and the referent of which is unclear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In D and E, the verb phrases (being colder ..., having been colder . ..) do not refer as clearly to the noun weather as the pronoun which does. Choice D needs the adjective usual in place of the adverb usually, while choice E fails to maintain parallelism in verb tense (having been... and slowed).

解释没有讲slowing的逻辑主语问题。但是应该是weather，也就是从句的主语which（which指代weather）
那也就是说现在分词的逻辑主语不一定是整个句子的主语，也可以是一个部分结构的主语或动作发出者。

不知这样讲是否对理解LZ贴的这道题有用。。

我有一个大大的问题

    Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance

    

    plans( that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending less time with each.)

        

既然上面的这个东西除了刮号外面是一个句子，

为什么不可以解释成 plans 是impose.... 然后and  require...

require sb. to do sth. 加一个“逗号”再require sb. doing sth.

我很笨的。。。

    

bestway

没有require sb doing用法

hll

doctors

妖还在

同意你说的话，确实那个逗号很别扭，不过还是不清楚

为什么spending可以修饰doctors ，这个知识对我是个盲点

我只知道（1）：现在分词在句末修饰主句主语

              （2）：现在分词在句末修饰前面整个句子，表示结果

我也想问下,现在分词有没有就近修饰的用发呢?还有过去分词

就像which那样的

同意楼上的解释。

假设(A) imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend

变为imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, spending

这个答案能选吗？plan可不可以用plan imposing...and requiring因为imposing是plan一直持续的动作？

我一开始和你想法一样，所以选了A

imposing /requiring平行修饰plans,后面的(to) spend和to see平行，为什么不对呢？

我也选的A。spend只能和前面too see平行，而且逻辑意思也相符，为什么不对。
