逗号后面的现在分词能否作定语就近修饰名词？

carlosh

逗号后面的现在分词大多数都是做伴随状语修饰主句中的谓语或做整句话的结果状语，请问这样的分词能修饰逗号前面的名词么？ prep语法笔记中用这个原理排除了一个选项，说指代有歧义，那我想问I watch TV， listening to the music，这个listening 难道还有修饰TV的歧义？

附上题目
The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.  

(A) to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs
(B) to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing
(C) is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer,  and it weighs
(D) is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs
(E) is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing
答案说B的weighing有修饰computer的歧义 如果没有B究竟是不是就是没有错误只是没有D完美呢？

I watch TV, listening to the music. 这句话里listening只能做伴随状态修饰，所以没有修饰TV的歧义。
