语法上：
raising 是that/which be raising 的省略形式，可修饰tourists 或moisture


逻辑上：
moisture raises the humidity
(呼出的）水汽  提升了 湿度

你的意思是从语法上来讲，raising既可以修饰moisture也可以修饰tourists，对吧？
那如果是修饰moisture那么后面的them就不可能指代tourists了，因为此时tourists是修饰语中介词by的宾语，但是OG说这里的them是修饰tourists的，那么我认为这里OG应该是认为raising是修饰tourists的，此时tourists做从句的主语是可以用them指代的

楼上说的对呀，因为them是指代tourists，所以导致句子的意思变成游客提升了湿度，逻辑上有误，所以才错误了。

那raising是修饰tourists的了？

Luxe

是呀 如果是限定型定语从句跳跃修饰，那么关系代词是不能省略的。例如：OG12-126，里面那个that就是跳跃修饰，不能省略。

再补充一下，og-126里面对C选项的解释，说明了如果是跳跃修饰不能省略关系代词。 This construction is lesssuccessful at
clarifying the chain of events because
creating seems to referback to lying; if used
as a participial, creating would have to be
preceded by a comma.

还有个问题想请教

主谓宾，过去分词...过去分词是怎么可能修饰宾语呢？？如56题的A选项
