Rising inventories,
                when unaccompanied correspondingly
                    by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper

economic growth.

(A)         when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead

(B)         when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads

(C)        when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead

(D)        if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads

(E)         if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead

 

OG解释说inventories 是主语， 所以谓语要复数形式。

我觉得Rising inventories 整个是主语，后面需要单数谓语。

请哪位牛人解答以下吧。

rising是修饰成分，对inventories没有任何影响．

比如　Children are playing games.

Lovely children are playing games. 你不会因为加了修饰成分就把are改成is吧？

以下是引用BOASU在2008-10-14 3:36:00的发言：

比如　Children are playing games.

Lovely children are playing games. 你不会因为加了修饰成分就把are改成is吧？

 我觉得你说的有道理。

但是，我觉得 rising inventories 整个做句子的主语。

对应的谓语是leads, 但是在情态动词can 后面只能用动词原型，

所以答案是E。

白天没想明白，现在突然想到。

当初是看到correspondingly排除的

不过OG对leads的解释仍然不懂

期待解答

修饰成分不影响主干的单复数,

你已经找到主语是Rising inventories, 那么此处的rising有与没有在语法结构上是没有任何意义的.

谓语动词仅由rising 所修饰的中心词 inventories来决定,所以 一定为复数.

也就是说,即使不考虑情态动词can,,此处的谓语动词也一定为复数.

B,D为首先排除选项
