在OG上看到这个题目

253.
     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。。

这道OG题和本题是不同的。OG这里分词的逻辑主语是定语从句的主语，而prep里选项D的spending的逻辑主语是doctors，是定语从句的宾语。而按照OG的思路，spending的逻辑主语是“plan”，讲不通。

我觉得OG那题，分词是修饰weather的，which只是一个插入成分。为什么理解成分词修饰which呢？

个人感觉：A,D无明显语法错误，有动词的that从句优于a series of phrases（-ing形式）

这个语法题也考句子的逻辑意思关系了
