啊啊今天总结的时候又翻到了这个帖子。。T.T 温故而知新吖。。

附加这道题

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO'snow earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared toa ratio of 42 times in 1980.

(A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 timesmore pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

(C) that, onaverage, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as comparedto 42 times their pay, the ratio

(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times morepay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times thepay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

在这里 their指代的就是workers。。。而且workers存在于介词短语中
不过按照层次来分的话 their跟workers是同一级的

the pay of blue-collar workers= blue- collar worker's pay= their pay..

同问，29楼的问题，没人回答呀：
题中的E选项    the participial phrase does not clearly modify book illustrations; the relationships among the parts of the sentence are unclear.
这里不是讲coordinate与capitalize用and作并列了吗，为什么OG上还说没有清晰地修饰illustration？E为什么不可以选？
谢谢！

E选项改变了原句的意思。原句是想让carefully coordinated with her narratives修饰illustrations，而E选项改为谓语形式与capitalized并列作为主语BP发出的动作。所以OG说The participial phrase (coordinated with her narratives) does not clearly modify book illustrations. 改变句意之后，句子的层次就改变了。原意是一个main clause加上一个relative clause, E项中只有一个main clause, 两个谓语动词并列体现不出他们之间的关系。所以OG说the relationships among the parts of the sentence are unclear。

好吧 还是遵循原句的意思吧，不能太颠覆原来要表达的逻辑，虽然感觉E项读起来挺顺的，意思表达的也全。谢啦！

在搜索 逗号+ing修饰什么成分 的时候闯入这个神贴！很有收获！！！

我原本在体悟这个例子：
In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, so that it absorbs the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.
A act as a buffer, so that it absorbs  
B act like a buffer so as to absorb
C act as a buffer, absorbing   
D acting as a buffer, absorbing   
E acting like a buffer, absorb
答案是C

这道题要选出答案挺容易的，根据平行就好了。
我疑惑的是： 1、breakwater在句子中是什么成分啊？？？

2、这里absorbing是作为补充说明吗？作为谁的补充说明？是不是修饰breakwater of rocks的呢？如果是这样，它为什么不会引起歧义（比如修饰主句主语或者前面整个动作之类的）？
or
proposed...引导的宾语从句是不是独立于前面的主句了，所以后面的修饰语都是在修饰这个宾语从句buiding parallel...，所以其实absorbing...也可以说是在修饰buiding parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks...？？？

菜鸟一只，如果问得太小白太混乱太没逻辑，请NN们轻拍...
真心求教！！！
