Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also caused erosion and very quickly deforested whole regions.

A. Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also

B. Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast), which gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but also

E. The systematic clearing of forests in the United States not only created farmland (especially in the Northeast), giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it

我想问的是E 中giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture怎么样改才不产生修饰上的歧义？     这种分词结构不是修饰前面句子的主语吗？ 难道也可以就近修饰？

自己顶~~~

这个题正确的应该是D吧？give和creat是并列的结构不存在修饰结构吖~

PREP语法笔记上面说GIVING修饰CREATED，所以我就比较不理解

有木有NN 帮忙解答下~~~~~我觉得giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture应该修饰The systematic clearing 吧？

建议看看manhattan关于modifier那章吧~【，V-ing】这个形式是一个【verb modifier】，它本质上修饰的是动词。只是，它很特殊在于【它在修饰动词的时候，也连带着要求主语是V-ing的句子主语】。所以我们经常说，【，V-ing】结构要求逻辑主语，但是本质上，它还是修饰动词的。

原来这样！！！！ 谢谢bat~~~~~我要再好好看看manhattan关于modifier那章。

醒醒Shine

我找了下笔记：
1、若ving前面的是SVO结构，时态与SVO合理，VING作状语：
· 伴随动作：表示与主句同时发生
· 伴随结果：表示主句动作带来的结果

例如：He scored 100，making him the best student.
这里的making虽然也是共用了主语he，但是是因为scored这个动作发生才会有的结果。

所以原句的giving产生了歧义在于，好像是因为created farmland发生了，所以才会give。
我想这就是prep语法里解释说的意思，give修饰了creat了吧。本质还是在于两个动作在共用一个subject时，俩动词的关系发生了改变，违背了原句句义。
