(Selling several hundred thousand copies in six months, the publication of "M" in 1899 was an instant hit, helping to establish Scott as the preeminent ragtime composer.)
the answer is
published in 1899, "M" was an instant hit, selling several hundred thousand copies in six months: it helped establish Scott as the preeminent ragtime composer.

我觉得selling在这里有问题......他的主语是什么呀?

lindagmat

selling做定语，修饰前面的名词hit
上面的那个是错误的，因为Selling逻辑主语不对，不能是销售the publication，而应该是销售M 。
the publication of "M"侧重点是前者the publication

这个题目你好象问了两遍

我认为
selling 应该是伴随结果，作状语，逻辑主语是m

but "M" can sell copies ma?
"Hit" can't do yet ya?
