如题：

12.  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

the correct answer is E.

对C的解释verb (leads) does not agree with the subject (inventories).说文章的主语是inventories，是复数。

但是我为什么觉得是rising inventories是主语，那rising inventories是主语的话，那他是单数还是复数呢？

我觉得是Rising inventories导致了production cutbacks ，主语该是Rising inventories啊，而且是rising这个动作啊。而inventories是不可能导致一个结果的啊

我觉得就算是动词，那他作为主语也该是个动名词吧，表示正在上升的存货，中心词还是存货啊

如果你认为RISING才是中心词，那企不成了上升导致，肯定是上升的存货导致的吧，我这么理解～～～我再想想

看来我是没有搞懂rising是动名词还是形容词，如果是形容词的话，那么就好理解了：上升的货存。

看来我是跳进了自己给自己设的陷阱了。

刚刚解开了自己的疑惑，原先以为题意是提升inventories这个动作导致production cutbacks，所以觉得这个动作作为主语，后面应该用单数动词。后来发现了，这里是rising，不是raising。rise是不及物动词，所以不是被别人raise的一个动作，而是一个inventories自身的一个状态。这就好理解了，主语是inventories，后面应该用复数动词。

如果是rising主语 那应该是the rise of

楼主我对这个题用的when有疑问啊。OG解释说 The modifying phrase when...sales  is needlessly difficult to understand.请问这里用when 和 if有什么区别吗？
