Those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk.

(A) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark

(B) see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, whose different colors mark

(C) been seeing layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, whose different colors are markers of

(D) been able to see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors marking

(E) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, marking by different colors

答案是D,记得看过一条语法规则with sth doing 永远不被GMAT认可，我觉得A也可以，尽管意思表述模糊了些

Child care already a solid part of the employee benefits package at many companies, more businesses are focusing on a newer family benefit known as elder care, servicing for older dependents.

(A) Child care

(B) With child care

(C) Child care as

(D) Being the Child care was

(E) With child care’s being

答案是B，A作为独立结构错在哪里呢？

抱歉！以前只按照大全的题号来查，没有查到这两题。

第二题虽然with有“原因”的概念，但我还是觉得过于口语化，A还是显得比较“文气”，请问在考场上应该如何判断？这种感觉依赖不得吧！

959－相比于名词＋名词的独立主格结构with引导的独立主格更能表达一种和主句之间的从属关系。比如：He fought the wolf, a stick his only weapon. 和 With a stick in his hand, he fought the wolf. 后句比前句更显示出主句与独立主格之间的从属关系。在考场上，这种分析似乎没有必要，从经验来看，ETS的绝大多数独立主格结构都是由with或代词each开始的，很少由名词开始+名词的独立主格形式，或许，这是ETS的一种倾向。

985－前人的讨论，结果是A，参见http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=27844

顺便我再指出前人关于with独立主格是否合理的个人看法：我认为with + n. + like(介词短语)完全是可行的独立主格形式，而且，从句意上这种结构更合理，我支持A。

感谢stoneren的细心讲解! 同意关于“with + n. + 介词短语”的看法。
