A. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to
B. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to
C. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying
D. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying
E. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying 其实ABCD错,我都可以理解~但E为什么对呢?? 如果proved的主语是the company, 那么falling的主语是什么?也是主句里的the company吗? 这里的proved和falling都是做分词吗??如果都是修饰the company 为什么不用连词?而只用comma?

我觉得所问的问题是不是要从prove的用法入手,prove在朗文中的用法如下 1【BE】 [linking verb] if someone or something proves difficult, helpful, a problem etc, they are difficult, helpful, a problem etc The recent revelations may prove embarrassing to the President. prove to be sth The design proved to be a success.
2 prove yourself/prove something (to somebody)
所以分词修饰的话应该是主动(proving unable)
所以必须作为谓语 则要加it 变成it proved(和became)unable to do
再看Manhattan语法里讲的 And is the most important coordinating conjunction. Whenever you see an and after a comma, check for two possibilities: (1) a list (apples, grapes, AND pears), or (2) two main clauses (I like apples, AND she likes grapes). The GMAT will occasionally create a mixed-up sentence by linking a main clause to a fragment with and after a comma.
