A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

A  that creatures of the seabed were suffering form dwindling food supplies, possiby resulting from increasing
B  that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in
C  that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing
D  creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting form an increase in
E  creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

答案是B， 但是我觉得A也是对的呀。A读起来也没有什么语法错误。想了半天不知道为什么，希望牛人可以解答下哈~谢谢

试试解答：A项的主要问题是
1）dwindling是现在分词，不适合作名词的修饰词，因为现在分词不仅是表示过程，而且修饰的名词是它的逻辑主语，在这里就是food supplies dwindles，这不符合逻辑，因为food supplies和dwindle是动宾关系；
2）句末被逗号隔开的的现在分词都是表伴随的（待求证），如果是伴随动作或状态，其逻辑主语都是句子的主语creatures，很明显不是creatures导致resulting动作产生的，所以resulting作伴随动作或状态不合理，如果是伴随结果的话，没有逻辑主语，是整个句子导致了现在分词resulting的动作，即 因：creatures of the seabed were suffering....supplies，果：resulting from increasing...，可是一读句子发现，两者关系其实是因：resulting from increasing...，果：creatures of the seabed were suffering....supplies，所以resulting作伴随结果也不合理，结论：resulting用在这里不合理！
所以，A错！

A: resulting给我感觉是在解释前面整个从句
而文章中是指 creatures of the seabed ....possibly as a result of an increase in

而且从名词好于动名词的角度， 我觉得也是B好些
希望有帮助咯

笔记上说suffer from的应该是结果，而dwindling分词形式表过程，不好。另外我还觉得resulting有伴随主句动作之嫌，这一点不太确定，待牛牛解答

A选项的话，result from的主语变成A STUDY了，，逻辑意思不对。
我个人觉得正确的逻辑意思是food supplies were dwindling，这件事result from an increase in...
B选项这么放，逗号后从possibly开始做长状语就进修饰food supplies were dwindling
而且，我记得新东方老师上课说过， an increase in sth 比 increasing sth表达意思更明确

那E有什么问题呢

Raymond_GMAT

A中resulting from，分词在GMAT中作原因伴随常见，但是不能作原因状语。
E中的问题
1.because food supplies were dwindling，强调的原因重点变了
2.which指代不对

看到这个问题的时间已经是去年的了~
修饰成分去掉之后应该不影响句子原意。
E选项 句子去掉修饰成分后 就是A study→reveal→creatures研究揭示生物 没有了
正确选项 表达的意思应该是 研究揭示了生物怎么样了 对比可知E错误

Choice A:

you can have it as an adjective modifier, without a comma - as in the following sentence:
the flooding resulting from the abnormally strong storms had left six inches of standing water in the street.
note that the boldface is an adjective modifier, modifying 'flooding'.

it appears that on the gmat, as well as in standard written english in general, 'resulting from' after a comma is generally considered unacceptable.
