987的第31题，疑问？

             A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage,depending on mass.

(A) A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.

(B) After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, a star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

(C) After passing through a red giant stage, a star’s mass will determine if it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

(D) Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.（D）

(E) The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will determine whether it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

 我选A。请问各位大侠，原句中的depending on mass用来修饰前面句子有问题吗？

另外，D选项中加入whether，把该选项的意思改变了，成了star是否会compress itself的选择,而原句的意思是compress itself 可能成的三种形式的选择。怎么回事啊？

A 有歧义的，depending是指passing through 这个动作depending呢 还是指 compress 这个动作depending。

whether 是指这两方面：compress or not compress，和后面的3种形态无关

我也刚开始做大全。。。。。
