10.   During the 1980’s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital is estimated to have left Mexico and added to the strain on the country’s debt-ridden economy.

(A) During the 1980’s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital is estimated to have left Mexico and added

(B) During the 1980’s it is estimated that approximately $50 billion in private investment capital left Mexico and added

(C) It is estimated that there was approximately $50 billion in private investment capital that left Mexico during the 1980’s and added

(D) It is estimated that during the 1980’s approximately $50 billion in private investment capital left Mexico, adding

(E) Approximately $50 billion in private investment capital is estimated as having left Mexico during the 1980’s, adding

答案是d，b为什么不对?是因为during the 1980's放在句首有歧义？

LES

during the 1980's离要修饰的动词left太远了！

另外，偶觉得这是一种常考的题型：前面整个一段话对后面造成的影响。常用现在分词做状语表结果。

请参考OG15、259。

谢谢LES mm，不过还是有点不明白，能说详细点吗？

a中的left Mexico and added，和d中的left Mexico, adding，他们的区别在哪？

d中分词作状语，修饰的是left这个动作.

a中left Mexico and added, 指的是$50 billion.

经济压力是撤资这个动作造成的，不是钱本身造成的。

同意阿

以下是引用rhod在2004-6-22 18:16:00的发言：

d中分词作状语，修饰的是left这个动作.

a中left Mexico and added, 指的是$50 billion.

经济压力是撤资这个动作造成的，不是钱本身造成的。

rhod,再问多一句，为什么可以用现在分词的形式来修饰？撤资并不能发出add这个动作呀？

谢谢！

偶认为，分词adding这个动作表示left后的伴随结果，主语是前面整个句子。。。。
