178.  Bill Walton continued on playing, even though he had injuries that recurred over and over again, always hoping to return back to his position as a regular starter
in the game he loved.

(A) on playing, even though he had injuries that recurred over and over again, always hoping to return back
(B) playing, in spite of recurrent injuries, always hoping to return
(C) playing, though injured over and over, and he was always hoping to return back
(D) on playing, even with injuries that recurred, and always hoped to return
(E) to play, despite recurring injuries, hoping that the return

答案是B。
可是A错误的原因是什么呢？是因为continue on doing这个用法不对么？另外even though he had injuries that recurred over and over again, always hoping to return back  这个从句中hoping to return back是否可以修饰he（我觉得可以，但是prep解释说hoping修饰了injuries）？ 我不是太理解prep中的解释，请各位大虾赐教~！

我觉得是这样的哈~

A选项中，Bill Walton...是主句，even though....是从句，hoping...应该是作伴随状语修饰主句的，说明Bill Walton的playing的想法    prep里面说hoping...修饰injuries也是有道理的，因为在看到句尾有v-ing分句时一般优先考虑其作状语修饰前面紧随名词的用法   不过在这个句子里，从逻辑意思上看，我比较倾向于hoping...是修饰主句的（但不仅仅是修饰主语哈）

另外，我觉得A选项中的致命错误倒不是continue on doing这个用法（这个用法有，但是很少，一般直接用continue doing就够了，也更简洁），而是用了even though这样一个让步状语从句，将主句与后面修饰它的状语从句割裂开了。而B中用in spite of...这样一个介词短语就不会出现这种问题，甚至可以将其作为插入语处理，直接跳过。再就是，even though he had injuries that recurred over and over again这个句子不是一般的啰嗦，不简洁也是SC的大忌啊

ls威武！！

所以是不是可以认为让步状语从句一定要遵循 V-A-N, although...这样的结构呢？不能插入到主句中间？

p.s 另外还有一个错误hoping to return back， return back应该是redundant吧。看题的时候没注意额，囧

恩~这个貌似也没有什么绝对的规则可以遵守，不过在涉及到主从句的时候要多考虑一下修饰成分的位置，以免造成歧义。

return back确实应该是redundant了，我也没注意到啊，多谢你指出了这个错误~

朗文上查到的return的几个用法：
re?turn
go back[intransitive]
to go or come back to a place where you were before [= go back, come back]: It was forty five minutes before she returned.
