即使改了也不对。主要错在with.
with 引导的短语多用做伴随状语，与主句间用逗号隔开。
with 引导的短语也可做限制性定语修饰名词，但通常不用逗号可开。
这个题 a third of them domesticated and performing various essential tasks. 补充说明 elephants, with 没有必要。无歧义的前提下，简洁为佳。
这个结构和‘复数名词, each 引导的独立主格’ 一样
给楼主一个with为佳的例。
Visitors to the park have often looked into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline.  
with 在这儿是有实际意义和功能的，with 的使用恰好表达了某种途径或手段，意思传达非常清晰
