看了前辈关于og11th 98的讨论后存在的疑问

zxkingsey

By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.

(A)         whose access to water was less limited
(B)         where there was access to water that was less limited
(C)         where they had less limited water access  

(D)        with less limitations on water access (A)

(E)          having less limitations to water access

having 的歧义在于有可能做定语修饰clans，也有可能做状语修饰Anasazi,表示对于abandon的伴随。

也就是说,如果doing前面没有逗号的情况下,可能做壮语,也可能做定语.而不是一定做定语.从逻辑意思上看.having 可以做修饰anasazi做伴随壮语,也可以修饰clans做定语.----有岐义所以总结如下:

有逗号,doing-----一般情况下,就是做伴随壮语. 没有逗号doing-----定语or伴随壮语. 如:39    Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extendingfor more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.Extending/spawned做定语修饰--- an interwoven filigree

为什么它不是状语---因为它没有动作. 91.  The Senate approved immigration legislation that would grant permanent residency to millions of aliens currently residing here and penalize employers who hire illegal aliens.Residing修饰alien,做定语成分.

为什么它不是壮语呢?----从逻辑意思上,senate residing吗?不合理,还是senate的行为伴随着residing.都不合理.--à它不可能做壮语. 98. most of the Monument Valley Anasazi abandoned their homes to join other clans having less limitations to water accesshaving 的歧义在于有可能做定语修饰clans，也有可能做状语修饰Anasazi,表示对于abandon的伴随。
我的疑问:

怎么样解释93题

By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information. 现在分词前没有逗号,可以做定语修饰powers,这个没问题嘛,但是同样也可以修饰

Supreme Court,作为awarded的伴随状语,从逻辑意思上讲也没有问题,是supreme court 的awarded的动作使......但是在这里OG并没有说enabling

是ambiguous的. 为什么????//

请指教

晕。。。看了那么长终于看完了。。。
首先，LZ~~你的题目跟你的选项对不上啊~~~
另外，“有逗号,doing-----一般情况下,就是做伴随壮语. 没有逗号doing-----定语or伴随壮语”这个结论是从哪里得出来的呢？我不是说它错，只是应该做点修改：有逗号ving:优先做adverbial modifier,但不失去做noun modifier的功能；无逗号且前面紧跟着noun,优先做定语修饰Noun；无逗号前面不是noun，做伴随,如：Mary said angrily pointing to the notice。
LZ举得例子里都是紧跟着noun的，当然优先做定语修饰noun了，不会有做伴随的歧义的~~
