I am not sure, just try. please NN tell me the difference between With... and V+ing... Thanks.
After we eliminated answer B C E, left two of them. While in my view, as for the "with phrase",both of them are ambiguous. But don't forget we should find one best answer. Here A surplus D stands on two reasons:
1.seen is better than the wordier alternative been able to see.
2. in answer D, with different colors marking...,Here marking... acts as a paralanguage at the end of the sentence, but we can't find one action it can happen simultaneously,
个人的理解:还是支持A。1、如果说A中的with结构修饰上有歧义,那D中的with结构修饰上也有歧义。2、OG中的例子:Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs hang like socks on a clothesline.
(D) seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging(答案) 跟这题很相象,但是觉得OG中强调的是一个hanging的状态,与这题还是有区别的。3、关键是D中的been able to是凭空加进去的一个情态动词,没有根据。所以感觉还是应该选A。
