A 歧义  compress itself ..... depending on mass?  还是 passes through.....,depending on mass?
B 同理歧义
C it 指代歧义 mass?/star?
E mass passing through ..... 逻辑错

我觉得选B
AB光看depending on的位置的话 B更好些
答案是D的话
那是不是depend on是不是没有determine简洁？
CE的逻辑主语是MASS MASS WILL COMPRESS ITSELF 不对~ 排除

等待高人讲解~~~

一般都是向前面修饰的吧？

B错在修饰语的位置上，修饰语一定要紧挨着被修饰的词，after...离star太远就有点被dangling了，而且OG曾说过两个修饰语紧挨着会有awkward的效果：after...,depending...

非常感谢

jokystar

谢谢 after pass ...那是插入语 修饰的是star。
我其实很想问个很怂的问题
那个after passing through the red giant stage 既然是修饰前面star的，为什么要用逗号呢?
为什么不直接就接在后面。

A.    Seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected
but是个连词，前后连接的东西要平行的吧，比如，but前后都是句子，but前后都是修饰成分     A中，but前是个修饰成分，but后来个句子
B.    Seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected 正确答案 也是前后两个修饰成分啊
C.    It was seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, but the Erie Canal, connecting
D.    The Erie Canal was seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep and it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, which connected
E.    The Erie Canal, seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, connecting
